I am observing a new issue with problem-builder x-block where I’m unable to edit any of the components in the block because of an error that states:

## WE’RE HAVING TROUBLE RENDERING YOUR COMPONENT

Students will not be able to access this component. Re-edit your component to fix the error.

Error: studio\_render\_children\_view.html

It appears that this change happened with some of the new copy-paste work that is coming in, but I can’t confirm that. The timing just seems to work out if I look at the recent commits. (I’m observing the error on [edx.org](http://edx.org), and not yet Palm, so I don’t have access to the logs)

Part of me is just hopeful that there will be a fix for this. I use this block quite a bit.

The other part wonders what the best protocol is for reporting this kind of issue. Is it raising an issue on the edx-platform repo? The x-block repo? something else

Tagging @braden since it seems like he’s involved in both the xblock and the new copy-paste work!

Hi @john_curricume,

Thanks for the report. I will look into it. In general, to report XBlock bugs, you can open an issue on the XBlock’s repo like [GitHub - open-craft/problem-builder: An XBlock for posing questions to students](https://github.com/open-craft/problem-builder) . Though it does sound like this may be a platform change that’s affecting problem-builder, as problem-builder is one of the only XBlocks that uses a hierarchy of blocks (XBlocks inside other XBlocks). So posting on Slack or the forum is fine if you’re not sure where the problem lies exactly.

@john_curricume FYI, it seems that this bug is unrelated to the copy/paste work and instead was caused by [https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/31472](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/31472) .

Basically, we need to [update xblock-utils](https://github.com/openedx/xblock-utils/blob/a02815e9e5033dc49c2a6fbb9a790495bbe4ba18/xblockutils/studio_editable.py#L303) to incorporate [this fix](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/commit/248c090eee82acbfb84c21c0b47f1c02d9b5a258).

I will open a PR soon.
