[ARCHIVED] How to make course start/end dates display on syllabus page when participation set to Course?

We use REST api for Canvas to create courses. We found recently this thread which mentions the participation setting is needed.

So we set the participation (manually for now) to 'Course' and set start and end dates for the participiation. This allows us to see 'start_at' and 'end_at' correctly in the api/v1/courses/<id> response, which is great!

What does not work though is when we see the syllabus page (which is our default page), the table showing Start and End dates is still empty! How do we enable seeing the start/end dates on the Syllabus page?
