    @Oscar Martinez, as a rule, always update to the most recent version of the plugin that supports your Moodle version. When updating to Moodle 3.5, select the newest version that supports Moodle 3.5 (and then same for Moodle 3.9). This would anyeway in both cases still be the latest plugin version, as it still supports Moodle 3.5 (and 3.9).

    @Peter Schmitz, this would be an additional feature. Feel free to document this in the bug tracker (link above), where we can discuss the details of this.

    Hi @Nicolas Dunard, thank you for a very useful plugin! Is there an upper limit to how many students can selfregister into one group?
    @Peter Schmitz, have you tried "The Augmented Teacher"?

    Hello @Mette Søgaard,
    Yes you can use the "Limit the number of responses allowed" setting in the activity parameters.

    Hi, thanks for this plugin ! Just like we can see on the screenshots, I was expecting the plugin to show the fill capacity for each group but, instead, it only shows the number of participants in each group with no indication as whether or not each group is already full or not. Is that a feature you could consider (re)adding to the plugin ? Thanks !

    Best,

    Hi Yannick. This feature only displays the fill capacity when relevant, that is, when the groups' capacities are limited. By default, groups are not limited in capacity, so just displaying that their capacity is infinite would be irrelevant.

    Hello!
    Having a filter or search option when the list of groups gets too long could be useful. Is that something that could be done in the future with this plugin?

    Hi Anita,
    This is not on our roadmap, but would anyone – say, some Moodle partner for instance – build this feature I'd be happy to review and merge into the plugin.

    Nicolas, can you update the compatibility of this plugin if it works with Moodle 4.0?

    am wondering if you could help me with this issue we are having with the group choice plugin. Apparently, a bug is causing this problem.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.



    Hello,

    I am perplexed as to why when we run a complete report on a student their first group choice selection is listed twice. Once under exercise J1 (correct) and once under exercise J2 ( NOT CORRECT)

    The student selected scenario J1-2: George for their first exercise, yet this selection is being listed under exercise J2. The student selected J2-Mark for exercise 2. Why isn't the correct selection shown?
