Need to preserve the course dates after blueprint association

Hello,

we are running into the issue where the course dates are overridden once the blueprint is associated for the first time.

Is there a way to preserve the course dates that are already in the course? This issue only happens when the course is associated for the first time.

Any insight will help. Thank you

I recall a similar situation happening when I was a Canvas admin back in Wisconsin. We were piloting some blueprint courses, and our "parent" blueprint course (which, I believe, was also a "master" course) didn't have any dates filled in within the course "Settings" screen. When that blueprint course was associated with any "child" courses that had been populated by our SIS (and also included start and end dates), those dates were wiped out because of the blueprint sync. If I recall correctly, we had to go back into these "child" courses and manually re-populate the start/end dates for those courses based on what was in our SIS. Thankfully, we only had a few blueprint courses with a handful of "child" courses associated with them...but it still was some extra work we hadn't anticipated.

Late deduction without an interval

If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
