Multiple session creates only 1 session a week

[lara-spec-26]

I need to create two sessions in a week for 4 weeks. When I use Multiple Sessions feature to repeat the added session and select two dates (e.g. Tuesday & Wednesday) with an end date 4 weeks away it only creates 4 sessions and not 8 sessions. The result is: Week 1 Tuesday, Week 2 Wednesday, Week 3 Tuesday, Week 4 Wednesday. How do I get around this?

The only current way aroung this is to create 2 sessions using the multiple session flag.

Building out the code and Javascript interface to support multiple sessions like this is quite complex work and not something have plans to build as a volunteer.

It's also something that can be hard to build in a way provides a good user experience. There are good examples out there like Google's custom recurrence interface within Google calendar but there isn't a nice form field tool in Moodle that I'm aware of that does this yet and I wouldn't really want to build one out specifically for Attendance. (I'd prefer Moodle core to have a form object that we can leverage to do this.)

If you are engaged with a Moodle Partner they may be able to help you improve the plugin to do this and send me a pull request.

thanks,
