We're interested in making copying the template a local configuration opton.

At U-M, instructors add questions in a separate evaluation ordering system, and that data is imported.  The data that will be sent to us will have a 1-1 relationship between a template, evaluation, and eval group.  For that reason I don't think we need to copy a template when an evaluation is saved, and having copies in the database makes the tables larger and less efficient to process. It also makes the data somewhat more complex than is required for us.

I wondered if anyone has thoughts about this before I create an EVALSYS feature request Jira.

Thanks,

Dick

I do. We already had this functionality. Did you basically write it
again or what? More details please?
