Select All-Option when removing multiple objects from Favourites list

1 Initial Problem

The “Favourites” block on the dashboard by default lists all objects that have been added to it by the user. Users tend to leave objects in their Favourites even when they don’t need them any longer, so the list keeps getting bigger and bigger. Besides that, we have deployed a script that adds all memberships in courses to the Favourites-block automatically. Over the years this results in very(!) long lists especially for program administrators and program heads.
When trying to clean up the Favourites list users have the possiblity to remove multiple objects, but they have to check every single object they want to remove from the list:

2 Conceptual Summary

A “Select all” – checkbox could solve this problem. It would give users a possibility to “clear the table” and start anew. Furthermore, it would align the “Favourites” list with other lists in ILIAS (like lists of users, or lists of emails etc.)

Hello, I think this is a very useful general extension. Forms would have to be enabled to allow this option. Then it could be used for this case or for many other usa cases
My recommendation for this topic is to consult the UI Clinic - and thus also to address it with the UI coordinators. Such an addition should be part of our UI framework.

Weber, Frank [franklin66], 27 March 2025:
Hello Oliver, thanks for your feedback. As I'm not too familiar with the process I have to ask: Whose job would it be to consult the UI Clinic / the UI coordinators? And if it is my job: Where can I find out who to contact?
