General plugins (Local) ::: local_autogroup
Maintained by Mark Ward, Emma Richardson, Arnaud Trouvé
A local plugin which automatically assigns enrolled users on a course into groups
dependant upon information within their user profile. (Now with custom profile field support - called User Info Field in settings.)
This plugin will create, update, and delete groups automatically
to match the users on your course. All behaviour is event-driven
and so will occur within page loads.
The system can also monitor manual group setting changes and
moderate them to ensure that groups are kept neat and tidy.

I am using cohorts to enroll students in a group of courses, when users are uploaded they are input into the correct cohorts and therefor they are enrolled in all related courses.
In course setting I enforced using a separate group.
In autogroup setting, I have set a custom profile field as the default for group by and triggered by user profiles, nothing happens, I tried changing settings, disabling and enabling the plugin, but still nothing happens, no groups are created. I ran cron many times manually, with hopes, but again nothing happens. Shouldn't it work fine within this limit.
The only way to make it work, is that to add group by manually to every course.
Isn't supposed to work on the site level for all courses?
Please note, I am using Moodle 4.2.1.
Thanks,
Thanks for your quick reply. After my previous message, I tried it on earlier versions of Moodle 4.0 & 4.1.5, but it did not apply groups automatically. It had to go from the course itself and add the gouping. I also tried PHP version 7.4 & 8.1.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
In the plugin settings, I am using a custom profile field. In the course group to make it work, I select it manually.
