[OPEN] 'Assign to' tray retains the data from another assignment when opening a new assignments 'assign to'

Canvas

Engineers are currently investigating the issue.

Description

If you are on the Assignments list and you have a couple of Assignments already assigned to users or sections, when you click the three dots and ‘Assign to’ on an Assignment, you will see the users and dates assigned, however, if you leave that tray open and click another assignments ‘Assign to’ via three dots, the tray will populate with the new Assignment title, but retain the prior users/dates assigned.

Expected Behavior

The pop out tray should populate with all of the correct data for the current Assignment. OR it should give a warning about needing to close the prior tray first before a new one can be opened.

Workaround

They must close the first pop up tray before clicking ‘Assign to’ on a Different Assignment.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create two Assignments with differing users/sections and due dates.

  2. Go to the Assignments tab to view all Assignments

  3. Click ‘Assign to’ from the expandable menu (3 dots) on the first Assignment listed and make note of the users/dates assigned

  4. Do not click the 'X' to close the pop up

  5. Click another ‘Assign to’ on a different Assignment, notice that the pop out changes the title, but the dates from the first Assignment are retained.
