Suggested Course Duplication improvements

[richardmtl]

Suggested in 1962454-zen

my ideal course duplication scenario is this:

1. I click to duplicate and am prompted for what to append to the end of course/lesson titles (instead of "(Duplicate)").
2. I'm prompted whether to copy everything, including questions, etc. (current behavior)
3. I'm prompted whether to make this a standalone copy, with pre-requisite links pointing to target course lessons instead of the source course lessons.
4. I'm prompted whether to publish the course & lessons when the duplication is complete
5. Duplication script runs just the way it does now, but with the following exceptions:
   5a. Course/Lesson titles are appended with text entered in (1), above, instead of "(Duplicate)"
   5b. Lesson pre-requisites point to lessons in the target course (I don't see why it wouldn't be this way in every case).
   5c. Course & Lessons are published or not, based on my answer in (4)

It would be great to know why they need to duplicate courses in the first place.

I asked, awaiting a response.

Thanks Richard. We duplicate courses because we recently began holding instructor-led classes. The classes are very linear (using content drip so users can't get ahead of the class) and when one class fills up (12 students at a time), we start another class. Because of the content drip, they cannot be the same course.

In this case, the real problem here is that they can't use the same course in content drip, which is this issue - woocommerce/sensei-content-drip#89

As a result, I'm going to close this. In all the instances I've seen so far, the use of course duplication is a symptom of fundamental problems elsewhere in our products. We should focus on fixing those other fundamental problems instead.
