[LON-CAPA-users] Collaborators - parameter

Yes, that is the case currently.

The maxcollaborators parameter only has any effect for essayresponse items.

The code which provides the HTML markup for a student to specify  
collaborators is in essayresponse::start_essayresponse(), and the code  
which saves the list of collaborators is in  
essayresponse::end_essayresponse() -- that code is executed if the  
target is "grade".

As regards parameter setting ...

/home/httpd/lonTabs/packages.tab contains:

essayresponse&maxcollaborators&type:int_zeropos
essayresponse&maxcollaborators&default:0
essayresponse&maxcollaborators&display:Maximum Number of Collaborators

If you would like to be able to specify collaborators for a different  
response type (e.g., customresponse, externalresponse etc.), you may  
wish to visit bugs.loncapa.org to add an enhancement request.


Thanks,
