Description
Current Limitation
The current tdoc schema stores problem-related data through separate fields:
pids: Array of problem IDsscore: Fullmark valueballoon: Balloon color information
This structure don't support the customization of problem titles and labels (e.g., "A,B,C", "L1-1,L1-2", "A,B1,B2" formats).
Proposed Solution
Introduce a structured problems array field with enhanced flexibility:
export interface Tdoc extends Document {
// ...
problems: {
pid: number;
label: string; // Custom label (required)
title?: string; // Optional custom title
score?: number; // Optional score override
balloon?: string | { color: string, name: string }; // Optional balloon customization
}[];
// ...
}
Backward Compatibility
- Maintain existing fields (
pids,score,balloon) during transition - Implement synchronization mechanism between legacy fields and new structure
- Add deprecation warnings for legacy fields
Feedback Request
Would the maintainers consider accepting this change? If so, I'm willing to try to work on this task.
I understand this represents a significant change - would you prefer this approach over maintaining the current schema?

Research direction
Start by locating the tdoc schema and its current pids, score, and balloon usages, then trace how problem data is read and written. Define the compatibility and synchronization behavior for the proposed problems array, including deprecation handling, and verify that legacy fields and customized labels, titles, scores, and balloons remain consistent.
