[Contrib: Evaluation System] limit on number of questions?

[Ellen Yu Borkowski]

Adam

I just tried creating a template and put in a bunch of existing questions I had.  Here's the interesting thing - when I got to 71, it still let me add question 72 (it did not "lock up" like what you've described), BUT it did not display question 72 on the template.  I had to go out and back in like the your user described and was able to see question 72.  When I added another question, it did the same thing.

I will put in a JIRA ticket for this.
