      2. Go to the question bank
      3. Apply a set of filters and take a note of their values
      4. Refresh the page
      5. The same filters should be re-applied
      6. Turn editing mode on and off
      7. The same filters should be re-applied each time

      MDL-67743 introduced a new filter UI for the participants page which was refactored into a reusable core API in MDL-72509.

      This issue continues that work by converting the question bank's filters to the use new API, with each condition implemented in the appropriate qbank plugin. This then allows any plugin to define its own filter conditions.

      The scope of this issue covers just the conversion of the current filters, adding additional filters based on other question bank columns is out of scope, but these will be added in follow-up tracker issues (MDL-78220).

      In particular, we will have the following filter conditions:

      • Question bank category (optionally including subcategories)
      • Show hidden questions
      • Tags
      • Show question text in question list

      "Show question text in question list" is not technically a filter, since it controls which which fields of each record are displayed, rather than which record. However, this was included in the existing question bank filter UI, so for simplicity we will just convert it to the new filter UI within this issue. Once MDL-74054 is resolved we will hopefully have a method to show and hide fields, so will have a more logical place for this option to live, and can convert it in a subsequent issue (MDL-78409).

      "Show hidden questions" and "Show question text in question list" are a simple yes/no choice. Rather than using an autocomplete with just these choices, we have implemented an additional datafilter class for a binary filter. This allows us to use a Yes/No select instead for these filters.

      "Question bank category" requires an additional checkbox to indicate whether or not the results should include questions from subcategories of the selected category well. To support this, datafilters now support an additional "filteroptions" parameter, to allow filters to add custom options to modify the filter's behaviour.

      Currently, all filters used on the Participants page have the option to match on the join types "All", "Any" or "None". These options do not make sense for most of the filters use in the question bank (all except Tags). Datafilters can now define the list of jointypes they support, and if only one is available the option will be hidden in the UI.

      In the question bank, we must always have a category filter, and the "Show hidden questions" filter should always be shown to make it clear which state it is in. To support this, datafilters can now be defined as "required", in which case the "remove" button will be hidden and they will not be removed by the "Clear filters" button.

      Aside from the main question bank UI, these changes also impact how questions are added to the quiz. The "Add from the question bank" and "Add a random question" modals now use the new filter UI to allow filtering of questions by categories and tags. For random questions, these filters are saved to the question set reference. This can be extended in the future to support more filters.

      None of these changes should impact on the existing filters on the Participants page.
