Kiegel, Colin [kiegel] 2019-03-05: What if there is more than one superior? (or none). Whose name shall be used for the placeholder then? I think the placeholder should be thought of as list of all superiors.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 25 MAR 2019: We highly appreciate this feature request and schedule it for 6.0. Please indicate in the feature request where the information for the "superior" comes from.

Studer, Martin [mstuder], 25 MAR 2019: I suggest to get the superios by the ILIAS default Superior Position (https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/blob/b14cbf89f663e2c288acbb770d7297c5a8139695/Modules/OrgUnit/classes/Positions/class.ilOrgUnitPosition.php#L11) - We should enhance the OrgUnit Intefaces for this use case.

8 Implementation

Implemented as described above.
