Discussion is closed for comments when differentiated

[#1]

This case was unable to be reproduced. If behavior persists, please submit a new support case.

Description

If a discussion has differentiated availability/until dates for a user or section, those dates are not respected and a discussion will appear closed for comments according to the dates given to “everyone/everyone else”.

Expected Behavior

If there are differentiated due dates, they should be respected and the students with those dates should be able to access and reply to discussions.

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a course with at least two students

2. Create a discussion and within the settings create an additional “assign to” section

3. For the everyone section, place the due date and available from in the past

4. For the individual user place the due date in the future, with an available from date in the past

5. Act as the individual user with the due date in the future, notice the discussion is closed for comments
