Hi Gordon,
Unfortunately, there's no way to do this, but I've set up a discussion topic on it at moodle.org
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=229274
- feel free to jump on and discuss how/why this could work, and we can maybe encourage the developers to do it!
(Once they've had a chance to rest and celebrate the successful release of 2.5 of course :D)
All the best,
Lindy
