Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

Teak - 2025-04

Rationale

This is a setting in the CMS of edx-platform. It was used to gate/enable new Studio functionality when ancient the display behavior and available date features of certs were being refactored.

It has been three years since the feature flag was introduced and the eventual plan was always to make the v2 behavior the default behavior in the CMS. Target removal date was set as 2021-10-01, originally:

edx-platform/cms/envs/common.py

Line 478 in 5323c55

# .. toggle_target_removal_date: 2021-10-01

)

Removal

• the waffle flag itself
• the conditional in CMS/Studio allowing old-style certificate-display behavior (ie., not a choice between Immediately upon passing, End date of course, A date after the course end date).
• logic for rendering, serializing, or returning metadata about a course certificate in various djangoapps (eg. student, certificates, learner_home)
• a validator in the djangoapp models
• a details view in the contentstore API
