I can't search for a specific course to associate with a blueprint course

[matthew_edward1]

I have a blueprint course that I would like to associate with a new course. However, when I search for courses the new course doesn't appear.

The new course was originally associated with our school's default blueprint but I went in and removed this association.

It didn't make any difference, I still can't find the course in the search.

Hi @matthew_edward1,

The first potential cause that comes to mind would be the location (account) the course is in relative to the blueprint.  If the course in the same account as the blueprint or a subaccount of the blueprint account at least?  If it's in a totally different branch of your Canvas account structure, it won't be able to be associated with the blueprint.  You'd need to go to the course and change the account it's associated with if this is the scenario you're in.

If that is not the issue, I also wonder if there may be some back-end caching going on where disassociating the blueprint doesn't have 100% immediate effect through the whole system, so maybe trying again in an hour or two might work if that was the case.

Let us know if either of these things seem like they could be the issue!
