The Moodle question bank tracks the time when each question was last created or modified.
The Moodle backup and restore system has a feature where, during the restore process, you can choose to change the course start date, and then all the other dates in the course are adjusted by the same amount. This is helpful if, for example, you always want a given quiz to open 10 days after the start of the course, in any copy of the course that you make.
The question is, does it make sense to apply this logic to the question timecreated and timemodified fields? My colleages at the OU and I think that these fields are more metadata, which should be left alone; rather than course settings, which should be update. That is, however, just one opinion, and before I change anything I would like to hear everyone else's opinion, so please tell me what you think the right behaviour is here. Thanks.
