Allow "Improved Outcomes Management" without "Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales"

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

The new featureOverview: Improved Outcomes Management Feature Preview  seems promising, but not with it tied to Overview: Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales Feature Preview .  Right now, in order to enable Improved Outcomes Management, an account has to also enable Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales.  In doing so, all existing account-level outcomes are overwritten to a default 4-point scale and the "highest score" calculation method.  This includes existing 4-point scale outcomes with detailed descriptions.  We already have several instructors using account-level outcomes, so we can not enable this feature.  Doing so would cause a major disruption.

I propose the following change to Overview: Improved Outcomes Management Feature Preview:

Allow the Improved Outcomes Management Feature as a standalone (without Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales Feature)

Thanks for sharing these ideas, @breklis . As it contains two separate requests for enhancements to the new outcomes features, would you please edit this idea so that it only contains one request, and then write a new one for the second? How do I create a new idea conversation in the Canvas Community? provides guidance on writing singular prompts, and you can edit the idea by clicking on the three-dot menu at the upper right and selecting Edit Idea.

Thanks for performing the requested edit, @breklis . We've opened this idea for broader discussion along with its companion  Allow Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Sca...

Thanks for checking out the Improved Outcome Management feature and making this request @breklis! We're aware of the impact that pairing these two feature previews is having on use cases like yours. For that reason, we're currently in the planning stages for pulling them apart. This will include providing the ability to define a mastery scale, calculation method, and description content on an individual Outcome basis.
