Sorry about that Terry,
We pushed a change that was not correctly tester on 3.11. We have now reverted it so that Moodle 4 users can use the fix, but your Moodle 3.11 should now offer you to update the plugin to 2023110900 version, which does not contains this code.
Sadly, this latest update breaks the group choice activity on our installation of Moodle 3.11.8. There is a call to get_page(), which doesn't seem to exist. Is this new for 4.x?
Hi Nicolas, do you have any thoughts on when a Moodle 4.3 compatible version might become available?
Best regard,
Michael Milette
Hey Gonzalo,
Thanks for reporting this. We'll follow up on GitHub where you posted too. But in short, we can confirm the issue and will fix this.
Hey, Nicolas.
We've found a bug in the timing configuration. The plugin allows the closing date to be earlier than the opening date. This setting doesn't show any error or warning while setting up the group selection.
Can anything be done about it?
Thanks a lot.
Thanks Peter, we'll look into this as soon as we can, follow-up details will be through GitHub.
I have reported a severe bug in the GitHub. Having tested in both our Moodle environments with the same result, it would still be good if someone else can verify:
When having backed up a course using mod_choicegroup, without backing up users and user data, the new course's choicegroup still contains the names of students from the backed up course. There is a link between the choicegroup modules when copied, making the copy show the members of the original.

Hi Nicolas, I am not talking now about the language pack (that was already approved), but the description page on docs.moodle.org (the page that opens when you click on "more help" in the activity help in the activity selector!)
Hi Chiara,
Thanks for taking the time to make an Italian translation!
This is not something I can approve myself, this should be the job of the IT language packs maintainer(s). Could you confirm where you posted this translation? This is normally done on lang.moodle.org.
Here are some already availaable IT translations for mod_choicegroup: https://lang.moodle.org/local/amos/view.php?t=1671700975&v=l&l=it&c=choicegroup&s&d
Hello, I wrote an Italian version for the activity information page (mod/choicegroup/view) and it has waited for approval for a while. Could anyone approve it, please?
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?

Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
Nicolas, can you update the compatibility of this plugin if it works with Moodle 4.0?
HI Nicolas, Do you have any plans to update this plugin to compatibility for Moodle 4.0?
It is possible to have pre checked some groups?
@Patrick,
Current version works on Moodle 4.0 beta. Please report back any issues you would encounter.
