Can you lock the course_format field?

[ldavenport4015]

We are considering adding the course format field (on campus, onlline, blended) to our SIS Import for courses to aid in reporting. I can't find that that field can be locked. From the Canvas SIS documentation it is not a "sticky" field, so will it get overwritten with every SIS Import even if it is changed by the instructor? 

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hi @ldavenport4015 I can't speak to the locking, but our ITS team 'brute force' items that we want to suppress by adding them to a .javascript blocker.

However this does mean that the .js has to be updated every time there is a new Instructure update.

Hello @paul_fynn  Thanks for the idea! I'm pretty sure we won't choose that option (yet) for the very challenge you mention, but it's in our pocket if we find we need to hide that field.
