      1. Populate the city/town field in your profile to something unique
      2. Go to upload users via CSV on your test Moodle 41 site
      3. Dont change any settings
      4. Upload
      5. Under the default dropdown you can see the preview includes your town.

       


      When uploading users via CSV if you do not define the city/town field the system copies the uploader's City/town (if set).

      So if my profile says Timbuktu all the users will be from Timbuktu. Very strange!

      • If you set a default city/town in the location settings this will override the value.
      • You can work around it in your CSV you can define the city field as blank.

      I was able to recreate on older versions of Moodle but I'm only really concerned with 41 and upwards at this point.

      Any questions please shout!
