This one isn't maintenance related but a big hack that we've added because when rolling courses over (Moodle backup & restore) Turnitin defaults to setting the Post date to 2 weeks in the future. This sets the start date and post date to be much further into the future, relative to the new course start date. (this is the usual behaviour for activities with dates in Moodle)
The reason this is a big deal is that when the post date passes Turnitin assignments with anonymous marking enabled get de-anonymised with no way back.
This ensures the date is far enough in the future / relatively accurately where the teachers will have enough time to prepare their courses and adjust these deadlines before encountering this issue.
