I'm hoping to find a way to import section based deadlines.
I manage a Canvas course with 115 students and 7 sections and around 50 assignments. Each section has custom Available and Due dates for each assignment since their labs meet on different times each week.
Because of the staggered schedule I must manually enter 7 different Available and Due dates for each assignment. This is a huge burden at the start of every semester so I'm wondering if there is a way to either batch edit due dates by section or if there is a way to import the deadlines. I am able to adjust and import dates for the entire course, but any section-based deadline disappears.
I have gone through existing solutions but each solution still requires me to manually assign dates for each section. Right now my best solution is to create a keyboard macro for each section and edit each assignment one-by-one.
