Canvas Sticky Fields (UI Override)
By default, certain changes made in the user interface are not overwritten by future SIS imports. For example, if you were to change the course name in the user interface it wouldn't be updated in subsequent SIS imports. You can override these fields by setting override_sis_stickiness in the API or checking the Override UI changes checkbox in the user interface when importing SIS data.
