    Description

      Actually (as in older version) moving a question in another category is done by modifying the question->category parameter as in
      line 486 of question/editlib.php
      //move question
      if (!set_field('question', 'category', $tocategory->id, 'id', $questionid))

      { error('Could not update category field'); }

      Calculated question can use category shared dataitems sets and just changing the category is not sufficient.
      I suggest that a moving_to_category() function being created in questiontype and that the default function could be the one used.
      I let you create the function and I will work on a specific one for calculated question.
      I suggest that the entire list i.e. $questionids be passed to the function because if you move all or part of the calculated questions that are in a category, the moving process is different.
