Automatically remove "Missing" label from assignments at the end of the grading period.

[alallen]

It would be great if there were a feature that could remove the "Missing" label from assignments when the grading period ends. I have to manually remove missing tags from last term's assignments so that they no longer show up in my students' "To-do" list. There must be a better way!

Hi @alallen ...

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but have you seen this Canvancement (Canvas Enhancement) created by @James Jones called Removing Missing and Late Labels - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)?  James has a full write-up on the script he created...and also a short video of how it works.  You might want to take a look at it to see if it might work for your needs.  If you have questions about his script, you can post a comment directly under his write-up.

I hope this might help in some way!

That script no longer works, I've tried it on multiple assignments following their instructions and multiple other commenters have noted it as well.

Sorry to hear that, @alex_voigt.  I would recommend that you post a message to James' blog post so that he can help address any questions that you might have...as he is the one who wrote the script.

HI @alallen 

Do I understand correctly that your course covers two grading periods. For example, the Canvas course covers two quarters, and you want your students to have a clean "to-do list" once the first quarter ends?
