Description
The attendance record data associated with users is included in the course archive package. However, the data is stored using internal PKID references rather than portable user identifiers. As a result, the attendance records cannot be successfully restored to a different site, and restoration will also fail if the original user accounts have been deleted from the source environment. This behavior prevents attendance data from being reliably migrated or recovered across environments or after user removal.
Steps to Replicate
Log into Blackboard Learn as an administrator
Create an Ultra Course
Add at least a few users
Add attendance
Take one attendance for each user
Archive the course, or use auto-archive
Go to another site
Restore the archive
Expected Behavior:
The users are created, and the data is restored.
Observed Behavior:
The users are created but the attendance data is not restored.
