Edited assignment launch with LtiResourceLinkRequest instead of LtiDeepLinkingRequest

Issue Documented: 2025-10-30
Canvas

This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 11/05/25.

Description

When editing an external tool assignment, selecting a new external tool resource is triggering a LtiResourceLinkRequest instead of a LtiDeepLinkingRequest.

Expected Behavior

Instead it should initiate a LtiDeepLinkingRequest.

Workaround

Delete the assignment and create a new one.

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisite: Course with an LTI 1.3 using Deep Linking.

  1. Create an assignment and use an LTI using deep linking.

  2. Edit the assignment and try to select a new deep linked LTI resource.

  3. Notice that it instead launches as a resource link request which breaks the tool from working to select the new content.
