Canvas

Engineers are currently investigating the issue.

Description

When a discussion is imported from another course with checkpoints disabled, then is imported again after checkpoints have been enabled on the discussion in the source course, the gradebook does not load and displays an error in the course it was re-copied into.

Expected Behavior

Gradebook should display without errors after importing a previously imported discussion.

Workaround

Running SLM corrects the errors

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisite: Have two courses in a sub-account with Discussion Checkpoints feature option enabled.

  1. In course 1 create a graded discussion with checkpoints disabled.

  2. In course 2 add students

  3. Import the discussion from course 1 to course 2

  4. In course 1, edit the discussion and enable checkpoints.

  5. Import the discussion again from course 1 to course 2

  6. In course 2 navigate to the gradebook and note that grades do not display and errors are present.
