[Credentials/Badges] Group End Date Longer Than 1 Year

[JennaFedewa]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas Credentials

---

Problem statement:

Within Canvas Credentials the groups seem to archive at arbitrary dates. I went in to extend the badge group out for our badge that can be earned at anytime in a students 4 year collegiate journey. The end date for a Canvas Credentials badge group can only be 1 year out from the current date. That means that I will have to go in and manually change that date for 9-36 courses every single year.

Proposed solution:

Please allow the end date for badge groups to be extended to the users needed length. Badges do not run like traditional course and institutions may have badge courses that award for extended periods of time as users cycle through them.

User role(s):

admin
