Has anyone managed to successfully use the 'upload courses' CSV option followed by course reset to change the date 1 year on? I'm preparing for annual course rollover time.
Test A: As part of my testing, for an *existing* course, if I go to "edit settings > start date" and change the date to 1 year on, no assignment deadlines get updated. If I go to '"reset" and give a new start date, the assignment deadlines are updated accordingly. That's fine.
However - I really want to copy a course for next academic year and update the startdate after copy. I've tried all sorts of combinations with 'uploaded courses' (using the 'upload course' CSV method) on both our test 2.6 installation and my local 2.8 installation. I've tried to insert a startdate into the upload course CSV, which DOES successfully update the new course copy's start date (when you look in edit settings) however, Assignment dates are still incorrectly in the past and have not updated. I've also tried *not* including a startdate in the upload course CSV and instead once the course copied successfully I followed the same steps as Test A (above) - but then I got very weird Assignment changes - i.e. I moved the course start by 1 year to 1st Sept 2015 and assignments inside the course updated to 2060 (45 years to complete the assignment!) and on another test it set to 1945???
What am I doing wrong?!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sarah
