      1. As an admin, go to Site administration and search for "enablemobilewebservice". Enable web services for mobile devices and save the changes
      2. Go to Site administration / Development / Experimental / Experimental settings and Enable course relative dates. Save the changes.
      3. Create a new course and set the setting "Relative dates mode" to yes
      4. Create a choice activity enabling the fields: Availability -> Allow responses from/until (you can use any future date)
      5. Create a forum activity enabling the field: Availability -> Due date (you can use any future date
      6. Create an Assignment activity enabling the fields: Availability -> Allow submissions from and Due date (you can use any future date)
      7. Enrol one user as Teacher
      8. Go to Site administration / Server / Web services / Manage tokens
      9. Create a Token in the mobile app service for the previous user (the teacher)
        • Click on Site administration ► Plugins ► Web services ► Manage tokens
      10. Open the console and execute this new curl request, replacing WS_TOKEN with the token you just created and the SITE_URL with yours. Also replace COURSE_ID with the id of the course you created in the previous steps

        curl 'SITE_URL/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json&wsfunction=core_course_get_contents' --data-raw 'courseid=COURSE_ID&wstoken=WS_TOKEN&moodlewssettingfilter=true&moodlewssettingfileurl=true&moodlewssettinglang=en&wsfunction=core_course_get_contents' | python -m "json.tool"

      11. Confirm that:
      12. In the curl request response you see the following:
        • For the Choice activity, a "dates" structure containing fields in which dataid is set to timeopen and timeclose
        • For the Forum activity, a "dates" structure containing a field in which dataid is set to duedata
        • For the Assignment activity, a "dates" structure containing fields in which dataid is set to allowsubmissionsfromdate, duedate and relativeto

      The existing Web Service core_course_get_contents is currently returning a structure called "dates" that contains the label and timestamp fields for a specific date.

      There are a couple of problems right now:

      • Is missing the relativeto field (that is currently used only by the assignment module)
      • Is not possible to identify to what corresponds the date, if is a timeopen/timeclose/duedate or whatever date that a particular module sets based on the activity settings.

      The previous two aspects are preventing external systems from properly and efficiently managing those dates. It is missing some required information such as the relativeto field and is not able to distinguish for what purpose is the given date.
