Good day.
We have a requirement from a client who's requesting if it's possible to add a custom field in assignment activity (or any activity) such as an external Certificate "Completion Date". This custom field will serve as a basis for activity completion rather than the upload date of the submission. Do we have some plugins or similar projects on this?
Thanks.
Hi Val
Custom fields can be defined at the course level and in some activities such as the Seminar , Database, Feedback
Assignments don't have activity completion based on a value in a custom field.

Thanks for your reply, Craig.
I've tried Seminar and Database activity to check if it can be tweaked to meet this requirement. Unfortunately, the custom field value cannot be used as the date of completion. Can you suggest any option for this requirement or maybe a related plugin?
Hi Val
OK another suggestion is it is possible to restrict access to the Assignment activity based on a user profile field.
Create a custom profile field with a date value of when you want the user to access the assignment
Add the activity completion criteria of viewing or submitting the assignment
This will mean the user won't be able to view the activity or submit until the date specified in their user profile field.
regards
Thank you for your suggestion, Craig.
The requirement would use that custom field in capturing a date value for externally completed training evidence to be uploaded with completion date. That custom field date value will serve as the completion date. It's not about restricting access to the activity but using a custom date field as completion. I reckon something related to this https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=26616
