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

[Adam Marshall]

thanks - sounds like there's a bit of code

if (number_of_questions > 71) {
  don't display on screen;
}

that needs removing!

Thanks for your help. We're really struggling to use this tool there just seem to be so many bugs or instances of weird behaviour. Good job we're currently only in the pilot phase!

| 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.
