Comment 6 for bug 389283

It's not trivial to implement auto-generated name properly: course may be changed in the view, section can span multiple terms and in theory we may want to support sections of multiple courses. Maybe it even makes sense to add term's title to the section...

I left the field omitted for now, the changes are in trunk - if you have an idea how the auto-generation should work, please take a look at it and don't hesitate to file a bug.

Maybe we could keep the course field read-only if the "New Section" is clicked from a course's view. If "New Section" is clicked from term/sections, keep the title empty instead.

Another idea is to dynamically suggest titles as the user selects a course.

But all of this is out of scope for this bug in my opinion.
