release notes

Hello, reading the new features I have a doubt in the Dates Tab topic, since it comments that you read the release notes and in these it mentions that the command python manage.py cms backfill_course_tabs must be executed but the option does not exist, what would be the correct?

I have executed with the option backfill_course_end_dates which is the most similar, but it does not fill the page with dates.

I am using the version tutor, version 14.0.3

Are you running Nutmeg? This command was added in March and made it into the first Nutmeg release: feat: Add backfill course tabs management command · openedx/edx-platform@61b93d9 · GitHub

For further questions, could you make a new top-level post to get other people’s help? Thanks!

Dates Tab Added As Default for All Courses

The main courseware experience now features the “Dates” tab as one of the default tabs. This tab enables learners to see an outline of the full course, with important due dates for graded assignments highlighted. This enables learners to set aside time in advance to complete course content, and helps them stay on track.

Important note for system operators: this tab will be turned on only for newly-created courses. To turn the tab on for existing courses, the backfill_course_tabs management command will need to be run. See the release notes for more information.

Great feature but there is no instruction about how do I use this feature in production. In spite of it I was able to enable relative due dates using the waffle flags and this works perfectly for instructor paced courses. However most of my courses are self paced and I am unable to have that working. In fact I assume most of all openedx supported platform prefers self paced courses including edx.org justifying anyone anytime anywhere.

I have failed to have this feature working in my instance for self paced courses. Have any one been able to use this feature in production??

Could you guide me?? the only step I took was enabling waffle switches necessary.
