      1. Create some cohorts
      2. Prepare CSV files with several users for user upload, see http://docs.moodle.org/27/en/admin/tool/uploaduser/index
      3. Add columns for cohorts (cohort1, cohort2, etc.), allocate existing and non-existing cohort ids and idnumbers there (id is a numeric field that would be matched against cohort.id, idnumber is non-numeric field that would be matched against cohort.idnumber)
      4. Upload users
      5. Make sure that:
        • users are allocated to the existing cohorts
        • if non-existing numerical value was specified, cohort was NOT created
        • if non-existing non-numerical value was specified, new cohort WAS created on the system level with both idnumber and name matching this value

    Description

      Hey all,

      It could be really helpful to have an Auto create cohorts (to the admin) like we have in groups (auto create groups).

      If we have dozens of cohorts it makes it really difficult to create them one by one. or any CSV file to upload only cohort could really be helpful
