Tab styling and child levels are being reset when changing course format

[dirkca]

To reproduce: Style some tabs and create some child levels. Change course format to another format. Change course format back to Onetopic. All styling and child levels are lost for me.
Thank you.

Hi dirkca...

You are right, however it is a Moodle procedure, the format can't change it. It is for data base cleaning.

I am going to think about it for future versions, please, send me your suggestions.

Saludos

Hi.
A our institution, we have several course formats and teachers play with them to see what they like best. It can be frustrating to redo everything after having switched back and forth just to see how things look like in a different format. Could there be a clear warning displayed maybe?

Hi davidherney,

Would it be possible to save the nesting level by adding a space at the start of the names of child sections?

Also, I notice besides your own one-topic and menu-topic formats, flexible sections and flexpage allow nested sections too, so I guess they probably have the same problem? Perhaps it would be worth contacting them, to see if you can work out a common solution?

A bit late, but perhaps teachers can backup and restore their courses to be extra sure
