Description

When importing from one moodle course to another, the groups are imported even if the import specified User data: None and Users : None.

When imports are run frequently the groups grow and grow, causing any activity that is group oriented to take forever to load.

Can there be an option added to the bottom of the import to choose if groups come in or not?

Import Groups: Yes/No (checkbox)

Miguel - This seems to have already been reported. There is a patch for Moodle 1.9. If it is OK with you, I'm not going to worry about patching it for Moodle 1.8. If it were simply a matter of dealing with the groups that would be one thing; however, it has ramifications into the modules that were setup as groups and that data would need to be specially handled. I'd rather focus on making progress on some other issues. If this is a major priority for you please let me know and I will see what I can do. Peace - Anthony
