No, unfortunately no one replied.  I'm not sure Canvas has any good way of searching for all of the data associated with a particular student.  It would be nice to have an official answer on this from Instructure. ... View more

The purpose of " Process as UI changes" should be to process the feed file as a batch of manual (UI-created) enrollments.   The fact that Canvas is ignoring this option and setting the created_by_sis flag to true is a bug.  We need to notify Instructure of this problem. ... View more

I added this code to our global js file, but it seemed to have no effect at all.  Has this become an outdated method? ... View more

@James Thanks for your reply. I was referring to the Tampermonkey script.  I like the idea that the subaccount names would be included without any additional effort.  But I do see that Canvas's built-in Provisioning Report is a viable option also. Thank you. ... View more

I am correct that this script no longer works since Canvas updated their UI, or am I doing something wrong? ... View more

This fixed everything for me.  It's working! ... View more

@xcotto1 Oh I see!  You meant add as line 442 not line 422 🙂 I added your line and it's working for me now!!!  It is even removing students correctly! Thank you so much for this fix!         ... View more

@xcotto1 thanks, but could you be a little more specific about where you added that line?  I tried adding it after line 422 (right in the middle of a for-loop), but it didn't change anything for me. Here's where I added it:  https://www.screencast.com/t/puUhKtxnz It sounds like maybe your fix didn't work anyway, though, as you noted the students were not removed when you actually tried to use the tool... ...

Here is a screenshot of the Tampermonkey script showing line 263 and context: Link: https://www.screencast.com/t/9dhujsSPa8Ah I tried changing line 267 to "$('#events_dialog').dialog('destroy').remove()".  It did not seem to make any difference in terms of behavior.

These are the messages I see in the console when I click the Manage Course Enrollments button: TypeError: $(...).dialog is not a function at HTMLButtonElement.openDialog (userscript.html?name=Canvas%20Student%20Course%20Enrollment%20Manager.user.js&id=f663adf0-5e57-4d92-a93f-76388f67a374:263) condition-matcher.ts:136 Problems with selector: "."

I found the correct link from the console: /api/v1/accounts/145230000000000001/external_tools/14559 I've tried a few combinations of updateObj, but I cannot get the code to either add objects or modify object values when I go to the target URL  The json is always exactly the same. I guess perhaps I'm still not using the tool correctly. @dtod would you be willing to have a Zoom session with me sometime to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?       ... View more

@dtod I sincerely appreciate your help and I apologize in advance for my lack of understanding. The URL I'm trying to force to load in a new window is: /users/85/external_tools/14559 the '85' in the URL changes depending on who is logged into Canvas at the moment. I've tried both of these target URLs trying to follow your example: /users/85/external_tools/14559 /api/v1/users/85/external_tools/14559 The update object I'm using is: var updateObj = {"account_navigation": { "windowTarget": "_blank" }};   ... in the end nothing I do seems to have any effect.  When I click the link, it still opens in a frame instead of in a new tab. I feel that I am fundamentally misunderstanding the usage of this code.  May I humbly ask that you point me again in the right direction? Thank you. Chris         ... View more

@dtod your code looks great.  Do you think you could give an example of how it could be used to make a "user navigation" placement link open in a new tab  (adding a windowTarget="_blank" to the LTI link in the Account area in Canvas) ?     ... View more

The windowTarget _blank property does not work with user_navigation link placement.  Even if you set it in the XML, the link will still open in Canvas in-frame.  I thought I should mention this because the conversation at the top of this thread implies that it is possible to open in a new tab.  This may have worked in the past; if so, something changed in Canvas so it no longer functions with this particular placement.   ...

I've made a video showing the exact issue I'm having with the script. Link to video:  https://www.screencast.com/t/YAwv0dUfo If you have a chance please take a look.  Maybe the solution is something obvious that I have missed.  I have already allowed pop-ups from the site, so I don't think that's it.
