Engineers are currently investigating the issue.
Description
-
When a cross-shard admin makes a change to a course that would normally be included in Course Activity, the log is created but no information is available; clicking on “View Details” results in an error - “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')”
Expected Behavior
-
When same-shard admin make changes, not only is their name visible on the Course Activity log, but additional details can be seen when clicking “View Details.”
Workaround
No workaround exists at this time.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Have a consortia with a cross-shard admin. In my replication, I created the admin in the root account (apac-consortia) where the course was located in the sub-account/child account, apac-consortia-01.
-
Have the admin perform actions within the course, such as publishing the course and importing material into the course
-
Navigate to the settings for the child account and select Admin Tools → Logging → Course Activity. Add the course ID (with my example, it is 237) and press “Find”
-
See that there are dashes instead of a user name, and clicking on “View Details” does not return information.
