Testing Instructions:
Hide

Login in as an admin

Create a course or use a existing one

Go to "Course settings > Users > Groups"

Click on "Create group"

Verify that the "Hide picture" select field is set to "No"

Set a example "Group name" like "Test1" and leave "Hide picture" as "No" and "Save changes".

Go to "Site administration > Courses > Course default settings"

Set "grouphidepicture" to "Yes" and apply changes.

Go back to the course and repeat the steps 3 to 6, but instead of "Hide picture" set to "No", confirm that's now set as "Yes". Please keep the option "Yes" and click on "Save changes".

You should have now two groups "Test1" and "Test2".

Verify that the "Hide picture" option is still set to "No" in group "Test1". For that select the given group and click on "Edit group settings"

Description

There is already a discussion on-going on ~~MDL-67959~~. But this tracker will resolve it only partial. It will solve the point 1 from this comment https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-67959?focusedCommentId=785234&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-785234.

The Moodle admin should can define what's the default setting of this "hidepicture" option for groups. It is annoying that the default is hardcoded and so the users can not decide what they want.
