Allow CSV import on course id values - not just shortname.

[t-schroeder]

In our Moodle instance we have multiple courses using the same shortname. So when we want to import sessions into a course that has a non-unique shortname, we get an error here:

moodle-mod_attendance/classes/import/sessions.php

Line 433 in c47df0d

$course = $DB->get_record('course', ['shortname' => $session->course]);

Would it be possible to make the import work with course IDs instead of shortnames?

P.S.: I'm aware that normally shortnames are unique in Moodle.

Hey Tim - yes, sounds like a good option to add - if you have internal development capabilities, pull requests are always welcome. Alternatively feel free to reach out if you would like to fund the time to add improvements to the plugin!

@danmarsden Hello! Question: Do you have an example of the data that should be included in the CVS because it does not work for me? Thank you.
