          Description

          There are several input fields that do not have labels explicitly tied to them:

          • Numeric | numeric
          • Shorter Text field | textfield
          • Longer Text field | textarea
          • Multiple Choice - single answer allowed (dropdownlist) | multichoice
          • Multiple Choice (rated) - single answer allowed (dropdownlist) | multichoicerated

          The first three were missing the "label for" tags completely.

          The multichoice and multichoicerated were only missing a label when using the dropdownlist format as the other formats appear to have been addressed by MDL-34564.

              Hi Michael,
              thank you for reporting this. Of course you are right. There should be labels.
              Best regards

              I've added a link to a fix I created for this issue. This is the first time I've submitted a fix for Moodle on GitHub. Please let me know if I need to do anything else or do something differently.

              The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.

              TIA and ciao

              Thanks Andreas - this has been integrated to 24, 25 and master.

              Note: I got confused by the "Label" field in the question form and what it was for. The help for this field is wrong - can you please fix it in the docs?

              Link to help:

              http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Building_Feedback

              Also note for Michael: Andreas added a commit to fix the white space in your patch (you introduced tabs). Please configure your editor to always use 4 spaces for indentation.

              Thank you Damyon for your time, efforts and going the extra step to take the time to some tips share some tips with me. I am always open to such constructive suggestions.

              As requested, I have adjusted the settings in my text editor to avoid the tab issue in the future. Hopefully you won't see anymore tab characters in my code in the future. If you do, let me know.

              I will also write future testing instructions from the perspective of the patch already having been added.

              Thanks again.

              Best regards,

              Michael
