      When importing the contents of one course (course 1) into another (course 2)
      If course 1 has more sections than course 2 then currently the activities in the additional sections will be orphaned.
      If you check the 'Create empty sections' then sufficient additional sections will be added to course 2 that the activities are able to sit in a visible section.

      When importing the contents of one course (course 1) into another (course 2) If course 1 has more sections than course 2 then currently the activities in the additional sections will be orphaned. If you check the 'Create empty sections' then sufficient additional sections will be added to course 2 that the activities are able to sit in a visible section.

      Steps to reproduce:

      • Create a course A
      • Set the number of course sections of course A to > 1
      • Fill the course sections of course A with some activities
      • Create a course B
      • Set the number of course sections of course B to 1
      • Fill the course sections of course B with some activities
      • Go to course A
      • Open the Course administration -> Import menu item
      • Import content of more than one section from course B into course A

      Actual result:

      • In course A, section number 1 is visible and shows the imported content
      • In course A, section number 2 and so on are not visible and are only shown as orphaned activities when editing mode is on

      Expected result:

      • In course A, the number of sections is set to a reasonable value and all sections which were imported from course B are visible to students without having to change anything to change orphaned activity sections to real sections.
