Pre-requisites before applying the patch

1. Create a Moodle 4.3 instance using Microsoft SQL (I recommend using moodle-docker for an easier configuration)
2. Install the ordering question type plugin (qtype_ordering)
3. Create a course.
4. Create a quiz activity in the course.
5. In the quiz activity, create one ordering question with 3 draggable items and the following settings:
   • Item selection type = “Select a random subset of items”
   • Size of subset = “All”

Test

1. From 4.3, upgrade to Moodle 4.4, 4.5 and 5.0 (main), ensuring that the relevant patches for each version are also applied.
   • confirm that the upgrade is successfully executed without any errors for each version.
2. After the upgrade is completed, go to quiz activity in the course.
   • (5.0 only) Run the mod_qbank\task\transfer_question_categories ad-hoc task (directly, or via the cron) once the upgrade is completed.
3. In the quiz, go to Questions and go to the settings (edit) page of the ordering question.
   • confirm that the setting “Size of subset” is set to 3.
4. Go back to Questions and attempt adding a new Ordering question. In the settings page:
   • confirm that "Size of subset" is preset to 2.
