      When you change certain course settings (such as the theme for a course, or the groups mode) from the course settings, the URL for the "custom link" communication provider settings for the course gets removed.

      To reproduce:

      Ensure that the "Allow course themes" is enabled in the site admin >> Appearance >> Advanced theme settings.

      1. Add a custom link communications provider in a course.
      2. Check that you can see the blue communications icon on the course page.
      3. From the course settings, change the theme of the course to another theme and save.
      4. Now notice that you do not see the blue communications icon.
      5. If you go to More > Communication page, you will notice that the custom link URL is blank.
