Inherited Conditions Making Course Links Inaccessible or Visible & Impact to Other Content Items in a Course

A fix introduced in the August release (4000.21.0) caused unintended issues with course links for institutions depending on how their course content is designed or structured. We reverted this fix, which means Discussions and similar items linked in areas like the Gradebook or Discussions tab may again appear outside their intended release conditions.
