Is QuickForm a plugin?  If so, try disabling or uninstalling and see if that fixes your issue.

So it is still looking for something in it - did you try uninstalling or maybe contact the developers to see if they are planning to upgrade it?

i have found the solution. You have to turn off the competencies settings which have been defaulted to on. Once i turn this off i could for what ever reason able to edit the settings.


Some of the bugs associated with moodle 3.1.


So you have to go to competencies settings and turn this off.

I also came across this (not with Essential) on a site with php7. But I believe the deprecation notice I saw was a 'warning' rather than an 'error', so would only show up as such when you have developer mode enabled, but should not actually prevent the site working.

Possibly the undefined index in the Essential core renderer is a separate issue - but please note that Gareth has not yet released Essential for Moodle3.1 and is currently sourcing crowd-funding to do that work and so there may be issues around Essential in Moodle3.1. You should test with another theme (prefeably clean/more) and see if the same issues recur - if they do, post as a tracker bug as this would then be a core bug needing to be fixed.
