Hi @TereseToth_NPS,
When using either the (a) "Copy To..." for an assignment (the same would also happen if you use the "Copy To..." option for a module) or (b) "Course Import Tool" along with the "Select specific content" option, there is not a setting to select an assignment group to put the assignment into in the destination course.
Since the graphical user interface does not have the functionality, there is not an easy work around.
A work around that you could put together would be to use the API to (1) copy the assignment to a destination course, (2) after the copy, get the list of assignments in the destination course, (3) place the newly imported assignment into the desired assignment group, and (4) delete the "Imported Assignments" group (after verifying that it is empty).
The API endpoints/calls can be found in the links below:
- Content Migrations - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
- Assignments - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
- Assignment Groups - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
If you would like Canvas to enhance the "Copy To..." or "Course Import Tool" and its "Select specific content" option, you can submit an idea to the community. The idea process is currently going through a transition and you can read more about it at Turning Your Feedback into Better Prioritization a... - Instructure Community - 637959 .
