How can I switch from visual D2L TOC in a course to New Learner Experience?

Error/bug with deep linking 1.3 in Brightspace
I'm trying to test our LTI 1.3 integration.

When I get through the deep linking process, I get a generic message. Upon checking logs, it shows "Something went wrong…

Is there a way in arithmetic questions to make one variable contingent on another variable? For example, two variables must always add to 100 so variable {A} is random and variable {B} is 100-{A}. Thanks in advance.
