change startdate in course upload via csv

change startdate in course upload via csv

Hello all,

I've searched the forums and I don't see anything related to this yet.

We use Moodle 3.0.4 (build 20160509) hosted at Moodlerooms. I'm trying to upload courses based on an existing course using a bulk upload via csv. I want to change the course startdate and have all the restrict access dates, quiz dates, etc all shift relative to the new start date. When I do a single course backup & restore this works as I'd expect when I change the start date during the restore (to a new course).

When I try to do the same thing using a csv the course is created with the duplicate content, but the start date doesn't get changed. Here's the csv:

shortname,fullname,category,templatecourse,startdate

shortname,fullname,category,templatecourse,startdate

"RelativeDates3","Relative Assignment Date Test-copy via csv creation",41,"RelativeDates1",2016-12-19

I appreciate any help you can provide in explaining what I'm doing wrong.

Hi Breton,

I am no help, but am experiencing the same issue. Have you had any success in getting the dates to change?
