Seeing an issue with a site that uses LMB:

-They create courses via LMB with a new course category. When this information gets pushed to Moodle, the information makes it to the LMB table in Moodle, however the LMB plugin does not create the mdl_course_categories entry. With that missing the courses do not get created.

-To fix it for the site I have the client create a course category in Moodle. I get that categoryId. I then take that value and update categoryId field the corresponding record on mdl_enrol_lmb_categories.
