Allow for 'not sharable' for certain text boxes

[Dirk Meyer]

When working in larger portfolios, finding an approriate text box under 'Use content from another text box' can become difficult. It would be great if during text box creation, one could select 'make sharable' or something similar to reduce the amount of looking for the right text box. My sense is that not every text box needs to be recycled.

How do you know for sure that you don't want to share this text box at some point? Should each text box have the "share" button that can be clicked later on as well?

[Dirk Meyer (dirkca68)]

Maybe defaulting the number of text boxes one can choose from 5 to 25 would be a better fix.

[Kristina Hoeppner (kris-hoeppner)]

Do you mean that you should only be able to share 5 to 25 text boxes with others? That would be very restricting for those who create templates and use text boxes in them.

[Dirk Meyer (dirkca68)]

No, the number of available boxes one can choose from. See attachment.

Now I get it. Sorry for being so slow. In other areas of Mahara we can choose a different number of initial results. This hasn't made it here yet, but should be possible.

Since Mahara 1.10, you can decide whether to create "Text" (not re-usable) or a "Note" (re-usable).
