Few solutions for implement interactive exercise elements in non-hacky way:
- implement javascript plugins, so the assestment service can require specific plugin (e.g. angular interactive forms)
- implement form rendering in A+/frontend based on some json-form-schema (example of some: https://angular2-json-schema-form.firebaseapp.com/)
I think both are required for different reasons, but latter would help with this exact issue.
Mario probably refers to the hacky aplus-enrollment-questionnaire whose JavaScript code requires that some question keys are hardcoded in the JS. The JS adds the dynamic behaviour to the questionnaire: hiding/showing questions based on answers to the previous questions.

In order to make more convenient for the teacher and "a real feature" instead of a hack, we should create a new questionnaire engine and define new RST syntax/options for configuring more complex, dynamic behaviour. Teacher needs spring 2020: nr 2.
