Description

The new plugin "Subsection" (mod_subsection) is really helpful for teachers to better organise their course content.

In the beginning of development, it was possible to add a new subsection by choosing it in the activity chooser. This was changed by MDL-81767 to add a new subsection with a dropdown at the add activity-button to simplify this workflow and add a new subsection by a single click.

Due to the different usage behavior of teachers - only some will use subsections - the current situation forces all users to make an additional click in order to use all the other content.

Therefore it would be much better to have the option to choose whether a subsection can be added by a dropdown menu or the activity chooser as it is the way for every other content.

A setting in the website administration would allow website administrators to choose the way how it should work within their Moodle installation.
