We have a similar issue, but it involves group assignments.
When students upload their assignment, activity completion triggers the release of further documentation for the second part of the assignment.
The problem we have encountered is that since it's a group assignment, only one person uploads the assignment, and the activity completion only triggers for that one student. The other members of the group don't get the download for part 2.
If there was some way to auto-grade assignments on submission, then we could change the completion condition to "has grade". Since grades are awarded to a whole team, then everyone would be able to download the files for part 2.
Obviously there would be a question about what kind of grade to award automatically, but in our case the assignment part 1 is just a hurdle. Any mark they receive does not count towards their final grade.
