Add rubric to assignment without all of the additional steps?

I have a course in which I created a rubric that I want to use for almost every assignment.

From what I can tell, the steps Canvas requires to perform this oh-so-simple task:

- Edit the assignment.

- Click "+ Rubric".

- Click "Find a Rubric".

- Scroll through the list of *every freaking Canvas shell I've ever created* to find this class (NOTE: "this" class is THE ONE THE RUBRIC WAS CREATED IN.)

- Select the rubric.

- Click "Use This Rubric"

- Click the pencil to edit the rubric.

- Click the OK button on the pop-up that says I can't edit this rubric because it's used in more than one place.

- Check the box to say that yes, I went through the trouble of creating the rubric because I want to use it for grading.

- Repeat all 9 of those steps for each and every assignment.

Am I missing something? Is there some hidden, easier way to use rubrics you create within a course on that course? Is there a way to make "use this rubric for grading" the default? 

Why is this process so difficult???
