Uploading an LO score on completed course changing completion date

We have found what we think is a new behavior.  Here is the scenario:

Student is marked complete in a course where completion is determined by attendance.  Student takes a paper test, so we upload the scores days later.  When uploading the score (LO completion record), in spite of a correct completion date in the upload file, the student’s transcript reflects the date of course completion as today’s date.

Drilling down further, the actual attempt (first attempt, last attempt) shows the correct date, but the completion date is wrong.

The API endpoint we’re using is "/learn/v1/lo/tracks/batch".

My question:  Is there a new option in the API that would simply update the score correctly without changing the course completion date?  Is this a bug?

Just to add a bit more info, below is the job that we submit.  The lo_completion_date field is submitted with the correct date. The LMS records that date for the attempt, but then changes the session/course completion date to today’s date instead of the original completion date that was previously recorded for the session/course.

I can’t confirm, but I feel like I saw this behavior about a year ago when playing with this. I think ended up basically double processing, updating the LO and then updating the course completion directly, annoying.

Yes. Very annoying and time-wasting. It doesn’t make any sense since we’re already telling the system what date to apply the score to and the users are already in a completed status. I opened a ticket to see if we can get some action on it.

Guess is it is an overwrite thing instead of just an update diff thing, gets you to this process.
