[ARCHIVED] Editing outcome used with test student

I've got an outcome in my course that I used with the student view (as accessed from the course settings) to experiment with how outcomes and rubrics work. Unfortunately, this was not done in a sandbox, but with a real outcome in a real course that was being developed.

Now, I have a need to edit that outcome or, failing that, delete it and recreate it, but it says I can't because the outcome has been used to assess a student. Never mind that this wasn't a real student, or even really another "test student" account -- just the student view mode in my own account. You'd think Canvas would be smart enough to recognize this as not an actual student. But its not, so I'm stuck unable to get my outcome how I want it.

Does anyone know of a solution?

There is the option to be able to edit this through the Outcome API, if you are able to access them. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-11628-canvas-production-release-notes-2017-06-24#jive_conte...
