Ultra Course Announcement Popup Displays Wrong Date and Time

If an Instructor schedules a Course Announcement for the future, the pop-up for the Announcement displays the date/time that it was created instead of the time it was actually released.

Description

If an Instructor schedules a Course Announcement for the future, the pop-up for the Announcement displays the date/time that it was created instead of the time it was actually released.

Steps to Replicate

In a SaaS Ultra Environment:

  1. Log into Blackboard Learn as a System Administrator

  2. Create and access an Ultra View Course

  3. Create two Users

    • Enroll one as an Instructor

    • Enroll the other as a Student

  4. Log in as the Instructor and access the Course

  5. Create an Announcement

    • Enter a Title and Message

    • Check Scheduled Announcement

    • Set the Show On for a time 5 minutes in the future

    • Click Save

  6. Wait 5 minutes then access refresh the Course

Expected Behavior:
The Posted time listed is the same as the Show On time
​Observed Behavior:
The Posted time listed is when the Announcement was created
