I've been trying to add "style=user-select: none;" to some Brightspace test questions to avoid students copy pasting questions into ChatGPT. However, Brightspace seems to strip this CSS away every time the question is saved.

I assume there is a way to get around this from an administration standpoint, but our IT department is busy: Can you point me in the direction where I can send my IT people to potentially enable this, if possible?

    The brightspace HTML editor will expectedly strip some HTML/CSS/Javascript.

    Widgets and content have the least restricted HTML editor.

    The reasoning for stripping some HTML/CSS/JS is due to potential issues it may cause with some specific tools.

    It depends on what you are trying to accomplish and what is being stripped.

    "It depends on what you are trying to accomplish and what is being stripped."

    As stated in my original question: "I've been trying to add "style=user-select: none;" to some Brightspace test questions"

    Can you be more specific about whether or not there is a potential solution to this from an IT administration standpoint? Or is "style=user-select: none;" restricted even from IT administration configurations?
