Course SIS ID not present in LTI launch

Hi everyone.

I am still trying to develop a demo app that will reach out to our SIS and locate a class based on lis_course_offering_sourcedid .

I had previously been able to see the lis_course_offering_sourcedid parameter field with courses I had uploaded. But as I do this in a demo environment for now they keep getting lost each time the sandbox refreshes. So I tool a manually-created course and manually added the SIS ID to it.

When I test an LTI launch from the course the lis_course_offering_sourcedid is not present at all.

Is there something else I need to adjust on the course settings to force this parameter to be passed along with the LTI launch?

Please advise. Thanks.

Hi, @jw1 (a slightly belated) Welcome to the Canvas Community! Given the complexity and specificity of this question, I've shared it with the https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/admins?sr=search&searchId=9f8db69d-560a-40bc-a40a-a5b64dbcad66&searchIndex=0‌ and https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/canvas-developers?sr=search&searchId=d585d89f-52c3-4264-8320-77797787a32c&searchIndex=0‌ groups. Their responses will appear directly under your prompt, and you won't need to join those groups to see them—but if you'd like to join the groups, you can easily do so by clicking on the link to a group and selecting Join Group from the Actions dropdown you'll see at the upper right of the group home page.

We always seem to get this okay without any particular settings.

Where are you doing the launch from?

What happens if you try including it as a custom parameter with something like: cos=$CourseOffering.sourcedId
