          Description

          My view (and the view of others at the OU) is that these fields are metadata, not course settings, so that they should not be modified just because the course start date has changed.

          Before this is integrated, we need to canvas the opinions of others in the quiz forum, to make sure they are happy with this change.

            So far, in the forum, there have been no objections to my proposal; two people who agree with it; and one person who suggested something much more complex that is unlike anything else we have in backup. (And that does not count my vote, or that of my colleagues.)

            That is good enough for me. I am submitting this for integration.

            Thanks Tim, I agree that it is closer to meta data than real data. I've integrated this change now.
