Possible to override view in plugin? was created by jackrabbithanna
I'm porting lots of core hacks to plugins during an upgrade from an old 2.x to 3.x (or maybe 4.x) system.

Is is possible to override a view in a plugin?

For example, this file:
application/views/admin/survey/QuestionGroups/editGroup_view.php

I need to add one form element, Parent Group, so that question groups can have an hierarchical structure.

What options are there for using a completely different view php file, loaded from a plugin?

Is there an event I can subscribe to do to this?

I was wondering if this would be possible with manual.limesurvey.org/GetPluginTwigPath

Do you have any interest in having a feature like this in Limesurvey, where I could contribute a PR ?

The parent group id is stored in a parent_gid column in the groups table.

Thanks in advance

It's a view not a twig : then no way to override.

I'm unsure, but maybe there are a project to move Admin GUI to twig too, must ask to LimeSurvey GMBH team …
