API Wizards - help! My 5 oclock on Friday has showed up | And I got an answer from a wizard from eSkillz

Good afternoon folks - I was getting ready to pack in a file that I was formatting to move course completions into the system and I noticed something:

We are moving in enrollment start date as a data point and I am noticing that a few of those dates are  after a completion date. Even though that may not make sense in Docebo, it is historical data from another system - so I want to keep the audit intact and not adjust the records if I dont need to.

What I found out after talking to Burt McCollum from Eskillz  >

“If using the batch import enrollments API endpoint, the enrollment date  and completion date are not related. So yes, the completion date could be 2004-01-01 and the enrollment date could be 2004-07-26.”

I figure share it with the world - thank you ESkillz from saving me from a meltdown on a beautiful afternoon up on the East Coast of the US.

@dklinger We ran into something similar when migrating our platform 6 years ago. We found that if we tried to load the information via the Automation app that it wouldn’t accept any dates prior to the date of the run.  HOWEVER, we got our migration specialist to use the API endpoints, and that worked.
