A similar functionality is being developed for SchoolTool. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/schooltool/+bug/330706 (linking multi-term sections).

This is slightly different from what we're doing for linked sections because, if I understand correctly, in this case the two sections aren't necessarily linked, or even of the same course -- that is, it may be a sequence of courses (Auto I > Auto II).

In my opinion, section extending does not completely solve the problem of adding the same set of students to many sections.

Earlier you could filter by group, e.g. 7A, Invert selection, and Add.

Now in flourish you have to click the + next to a student, scroll down, click the next + , scroll down, and so on for each student.

Then repeat the same procedure for all other sections the same group of students attend.

If administrator/clerk could copy enrollment from one section to another would be a big time saver. But not sure if this way would be the best to solve this wider problem.
