Description
In previous versions (1.7), when creating a question, if you had a sum of points superior to 100% Moodle would warn you but you still had the opportunity to accept the fact and keep things as they are or go back and fix the total of points. With the 1.8 version, moodle warns you but does not accept to save the question as is. In the same time, if you have an old question where the sum of points is superior to 100% Moodle will accept it as long as you dont modify the question and try to save it again.
We use this possibilty very often and it is a great loss of if we cannot use it anymore. Some questions will look like this :
Answer A = 50 %
Answer B = 50 %
Answer C = 25 %
Answer D = 10 %
Answer E = -50 %
Answer F = - 100%
And we would ask the student to give 2 answers only. In the new version (1.8), it is now impossible to do this as Moodle does not allow you to save such a question because, in this case, the maximum sum of points is equal to 135%.
Comments to the screenshot :
We use the french version of Moodle 1.8. In red it says "The sum of the positive notes that you have indicated dose'nt match 100%. The sum is 190%."
