@xitij2000 I am curious what the goal of this work is... what is the use case and how does bypassing the dashboard create value for you?
This is a customisation that we are carrying for a client due to their requirements. We generally prefer to ensure that any customisations are upstreamed and available to the wider community.
In this case creating a hook/filter based system for this seemed like an overkill, so we went for a simpler config based approach, but are open to different approaches that maintain our clients preferred experience.
@xitij2000 can you illuminate your client's use case? what's the reason that they want to bypass the dashboard? do their learners only ever access a single course?
The reason that I ask is that most navigation paths begin with the dashboard and the ramifications for skipping that page in the user's journey may have unintended consequences - I want to make sure we don't add complexity that could get a learner lost.

I think with this change the dashboard is still available and as prominent, it is only skipped in one situation, which is when a user enrols in a course, they are taken to that course immediately instead of to the dashboard first.
On login from the home page, users will still see their dashboard first, so other courses will still be as accessible as before.
This would be a lovely toggle. We would use it for all our Open edX sites if it works as planned.
