This helper will assist you in setting the open, due, and answer dates for problems, or in setting the number of tries for problems.

You will be asked to select which problems you wish to set the parameters for, then what parameter you wish to set, then you will select whom the setting affects.

After the helper is done, you will be shown where in the advanced interface you would have gone to set the parameter you have chosen, so in the future you can do it directly.

Press Next -> to begin, or select <- Previous to go back to the previous screen.
