Want Discussion grading notification only after student has made 2 posts

[kpaynter]

Is it possible for Canvas to give me a notification to grade a Discussion only after the student has posted X number of times? For example, in Blackboard (see attached picture: db-settings) you could choose to have the Discussion pop up in "Needs Grading" only after the student had posted, say, 2 times.

I'm using Canvas for the first semester and it's telling me a student's Discussion is ready for grading (see attached picture: canvas-notification). She has made one post (reply?). I require every student to post/reply twice. I don't want Canvas telling me it's ready to grade yet, when it isn't. 

Any ideas how to change this in settings? I've looked everywhere.

Hi  @kpaynter  

This is not possible in Canvas at this time, but there is a feature request for this at https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/3898-option-for-setting-a-number-of-discussion-posts-required-... 

Check it out, add your comments and support by voting if this idea meets your needs.

I did vote it up, but it's discouraging that the idea has been on the table since 2015 and nothing has been done about it!
