[Building Sakai] issues with duplicating a course

[Zhen Qian]

Yes. There is a setting inside BaseAssignmentService.java that looks for
configuration variable "import.importAsDraft". So if you set

import.importAsDraft=false

in sakai.properties file, imported/duplicated assignments won't be drafts.

Here is the related code section inside BaseAssignmentService.java:

// when importing, refer to property to determine draft status
                            if
("false".equalsIgnoreCase(m_serverConfigurationService.getString("import.importAsDraft")))
                            {

nAssignment.setDraft(oAssignment.getDraft());
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                nAssignment.setDraft(true);
                            }
