At the moment, instructions can be added to a page and peer assessments. As per bug #1857931 it will also be possible to add instructions to other generic text blocks. Since instructions are written for assessment purposes, it shall not be possible for people to change these instructions once they copied a template to their personal portfolio area (or a group portfolio).
• A new page setting “Template” is added to the “Advanced” panel on all portfolio page areas of Mahara (personal, group, institution, site) with a Yes/No switch.
• When “Template” is set to “Yes”, people copying the page into their personal account will not be able to change any page or artefact instructions, no matter their role in Mahara.
• A group administrator can remove the template lock also of copied pages, change instructions, and re-lock the instructions.
• An institution and site administrator can also remove the template lock on pages on the institution level (institution administrator and site administrator) and site level (site administrator only) at any time.
• When a portfolio author views the settings of a copied page, they do not see a greyed out “Yes” switch but a link to the original template instead with the title of that template linked. [Check with developer:] If the associated template is deleted, the text “Page deleted” is displayed. If the author does not have access to the template page any more even though it still exists, the link is still displayed but they see the normal “Access denied” message.
