Create new assignment -- Indicate Required Fields

[benjaminvialle]

Where: Assignments > Create new assignment

User has no way of telling which fields are mandatory at the time they're creating a new assignment -- unless they try to proceed. When the user tries to submit the form, they are prompted and told which fields cannot be left blank.

User should know which fields are mandatory as they are filling out the form, not after.

Hey,

Can you provide more details? I would like to work on this.

[darynl]

Could you list the fields which should be required so that I know which ones can be displayed as required?

[benjaminvialle]

I don't have the list but mandatory fields can be seen in rails models.

For example, in app/models/assignment.rb :

validates_presence_of :repository_folder
validates_presence_of :short_identifier, :group_min
validates_uniqueness_of :short_identifier, :case_sensitive => true

@fudge21 are you still doing this? I can take a look if you don't mind.

Closed with PR #787. Feel free to reopen if you think that's wrong.

[darynl]

It doesn't seem to be related since this issue is a UI issue. I submitted a PR but it was closed cus it was kind of messy. I will re-request a pull request. Please open again

[jerboaa]

Reopened. Thanks!

[jerboaa]

Now fixed with PR #829
