2549031 - Revise item while maintaining curriculum retraining settings in Learning

Symptom

  • When revising an item, the Learning admin wants to retain the retraining cycles and settings for the new revision.
  • Users who have previously completed an item should not have to complete the new revision until the next retraining deadline.

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

The unwanted behavior is as follows:

  1. A user completes an item with retraining inside a curricula >
  2. The Learning admin revises the item following the steps to update the item revision inside the curricula >
  3. The user now has to complete the item again inside the initial assignment period instead of the retraining period.

Resolution

  5. Search for the previous revision of the item (make sure to search for inactive items as well, as the previous revision should be inactive) >
