      In Admin > plugins > activity modules > SCORM
      make sure the following items are disabled:
      allowtypeexternal
      allowtypelocalsync
      allowtypeimsrepository
      allowtypeexternalaicc

      Then go to a course and create a New SCORM and check the settings to make sure the updatefreq setting doesn't appear (make sure you hit the show advanced setting)

      Now go back to:
      In Admin > plugins > activity modules > SCORM
      enable some of the settings you checked before:
      allowtypeexternal
      allowtypelocalsync
      allowtypeimsrepository
      allowtypeexternalaicc

      Then go to a course and create a new SCORM and check the settings to make sure the updatefreq setting appears now and is disabled when the "type" selector (appears above the filepicker) is set to "uploaded package" but if any other type is selected it is enabled.

      also check to make sure the old item "onchanges" option in the updatefreq list no longer appears.

    Description

      SCORM has a setting that allows the package in Moodle to be updated based on an external file - so if SCORM links to a zip hosted outside Moodle or a manifest file stored somewhere else the teacher can modify that content and have it automatically updated in Moodle.

      But - this setting still shows (and performs unnecessary work) when a teacher uploads a scorm - we should hide the setting completely if external options aren't enabled and we should disable the field if others are enabled and user uploads normally.

      We should also update the help strings/docs.
