Thanks for the suggestion @sMouaad!

I agree this is the way it should work. For simplicity sake, the shared/common courses between paths are duplicated and store separately under the hood.

We've identified other problems with our data model that need attention as well. The fix for those should allow progress to be applied to shared courses.

can I take on this issue?

Thanks for volunteering @ZackHoang. But this one would need significant changes to our data model and complex migrations. It's best handled in-house by a TOP maintainer.
