Description
When a user adds a file to a module in a blueprint course, then replaces the file and syncs the change to associated courses twice (replace file > sync > replace file > sync) the module item corresponding to the file is removed in the associated course after the second sync. The updated file still shows on the Files page in the associated course.
Expected Behavior
Instead the module item should remain in the associated course after the second sync and point to the updated file included in the sync.
Workaround
Deleting the file from the module in the blueprint course then adding it back and syncing will bring the module item back in the associated course.
Steps to Reproduce
Prerequisites: A blueprint course with an association. Three files with different content and the same name on your computer.
-
Upload one of the files in the blueprint course.
-
Create a module in the blueprint course, add the uploaded file, and sync to the associated course.
-
In the blueprint upload another one of the files and choose the option to replace the existing file with the same name.
-
Sync the changes to the associated course.
-
Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the third file with the same name.
-
Note that the module item for the file is no longer in the module in the associated course.
