Description

« Hide

Develop a new repeat_form_elements function that may superseed repeat_elements in the future. New function will allow user to enter the number of repeated elements in a text box, so he can ajust the number just in one page reload like
Number of choices _____ [Apply]
instead of having to calculate and press
[ Add XXX new choices]
repeatedly.

Existing repeat_elements function may be marked as deprecated if desirable. I'll write a patch, just looking for someone to commit it.

This issue is key issue of the problem, blocking all other. Unfortunately it also the only issue with no assignee available. Anyone that can help me get this into Moodle core is welcome there

I was wrong trying to address MDL-17064 with a single patch that changes API of a function. We can easely add a new function and make an old version deprecated to get rid of in 2.0 or 2.1. Also, this allows for gradual conversion of the calls to old function in managable chuncks.
