Is there an API to update Discussion Student Settings on a Course? I'm specifically looking to toggle the 'Report Replies' setting
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ismail_orabi,
These can be changed in the Update course settings API:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| allow_student_discussion_topics | boolean |
Let students create discussion topics |
| allow_student_forum_attachments | boolean |
Let students attach files to discussions |
| allow_student_discussion_editing | boolean |
Let students edit or delete their own discussion replies |
| allow_student_organized_groups | boolean |
Let students organize their own groups |
| allow_student_discussion_reporting | boolean |
Let students report offensive discussion content |
I hope this helps.
