During new course creation using course templates sometimes the sets are assigned to new instructors but sometimes they don't get assigned and I have to log into the new course and import and assign the sets myself. It depends on what course template I use but I can't figure it out what makes the difference.
I choose the following components in both cases:
templates and html folders
simple configuration file
assignments/sets
In general, I am not copying any users.
The result is the same without simple configuration files, with only
1. templates and html folders
2. assignments/sets
Both model courses were copied over from v 2.17 and they were upgraded.
What works at least is that once I import the sets into the newly created course, I can use it as template with set assignments.
Automatically assigning sets to new instructors is a fantastic feature for me, by the way.
