Hello, Dan


in fact, based on some emails from some teachers, the main problem is the number of sections that in majority of times does not end in a satisfactory result.

I am also not very keen on adding more settings, but we cannot rely only on capabilities here, because the users who is restoring are also users who can change this kind of settings later, but at that point would not like to have it's format or other settings course changed, would only like to import/restore course modules and sections.

I was thinking about display/unlock those "specific" options only if user selects to "overwrite course settings", don't know if is a realy good idea.

Is there a way to lock "overwrite course settings" to off? I didn't see any capabilities or config checks around, but may be missing somethig. It would be a palliative solution, but not the best one I guess.


Kind regards,

Daniel
