Bulk course csv upload with cohort auto sync method ?

Hello,

I am unfortunately not admin of the moodle site we are using, but I am the course manager for my school.

I would like to create courses from a csv file and upload it. For the fields enrolment_N etc, I would like to use cohort auto-sync (this is what we use as there are lots of student who switch cohorots in the first weeks and it would be a nightmare to maintain manually).

My school is new to moodle. Last year (after install), I created everything (all courses and added for each the cohort-sync enrolment method).. I would like to avoid that.

Is it possible to upload the courses via csv and to specify the cohort-sync method and cohort name (or id) in the cours upload csv file ?

I hope this was clear and posted in the right category... sorry if not.

thanks!

My understanding is that the "Upload courses" tool does not allow one to specify the cohort-sync method. You can only enroll static, non-automatically sync'ed, cohorts this way. And thus I wanted to know if there was another way to do it nowadays?

Similar, maybe better formulated than my non-native english, posts from a few years ago:
