Tab_configuration json only is populated when a course has an external tool added to the nav

Canvas

This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 8/19/24.

Description

In the CD2 courses table the tab_configuration column JSON is only populated if the course has added a external tool navigation item to the course nav.

Expected Behavior

The course nav json should always populate

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a course within Canvas

  2. See that it does not populate the tab_configuration json after updating in CD2.

  3. Update the course nav by moving the canvas nav items in a different order

  4. Notice it will still not populate after it is updated in CD2.

  5. Add an LTI to the course that has a course navigation placement.

  6. Ensure that you have added the external tool course nav to be visible

  7. See that now the tab_config will show in the table after its updated in CD2.
