Hi everyone, I have opened a pull request with an Open edX Enhancement Proposal for adding "context-scoped XBlock fields" to the Open edX platform. This is the same thing previously referred to as "course-scoped fields."
Summarizing from the abstract: There is currently no standard way for XBlocks to define data fields such > that content, settings, or user input can be shared among multiple XBlocks > within a particular "context" such as a course. Such "course-scoped" or > "context-scoped" fields are a common requirement; for example, an author > may wish to specify the default “number of attempts allowed” once for all > problems in a course, or a video player XBlock may want to “remember” the > user’s preferred video playback speed for videos within a particular course. > > This OEP proposes a new mechanism for defining XBlock fields that are > explicitly scoped to a particular context. Please take a look at the OEP <https://github.com/edx/open-edx-proposals/pull/15/files> - your feedback would be very appreciated.
