      While testing MDLQA-7562, after doing what appeared to be a successful upgrade I noticed the following error pop up when I went to access a course with recent activities block on it:

      For a moment, this error prevented access to the course but when I went back later it seemed to have resolved itself but it may be worth taking a look as to how log migration is taking place.

      Eloy commented:

      "seems that the built-in migration of information can easily end throwing that "All dataobjects in insert_records() must have the same structure!" because the check @ moodle_database::insert_records() verifying that is really extrict (a simple change in the order of fields for a record leads to the error).

      So I'd suggest you to create an issue about it, that should end guarantying that block_recent_activity:.migrate_logs() always return information satisfying moodle_database::insert_records(). Test covered, ideally."

      While I did pass the MDLQA-7562, I am going to tag this as a must fix for 2.8. If it proves to be less critical then the issues priority can obviously be downgraded. I'm not really sure what the best category is for this either - we'll start with logging. Peace - Anthony
