Adding an assignment to module at time of creation

While searching, I found one person asking but never found the idea being discussed.

Is there a reason an option to choose the module isn't available during the assignment creation from the assignment area?

If the assignment is created in a module with the + sign then it is put into the assignment group.

It just seems odd that the page with all the details for creating an assignment doesn't have the dropdown to place it in the module.

Please let me know if this idea exists for voting and I've simply missed it.

I've been working with Canvas since 2010, and I'm not sure I've ever seen the answer to your question, because I'm not sure there really is a definitive one. I'm pretty confident that the reason this was never developed is not malicious; product managers hear from many instructors with many different workflows when they design for development. I can see where it could streamline things for some work-flows, so I would love to see this as a feature idea if you're willing to submit it in Ideas.

Layne, this idea was considered by the Canvas Community once before, but received only anemic support (you can find it in Cold Storage if you'd like to join that group and look around). As time passes, priorities change, so perhaps in a new round of voting this idea will garner more enthusiasm. If you'd like to see it considered anew, please feel free to share a new idea for this added capability after reviewing How do I create a new feature idea?

This seems like such an obvious element to add. I am frustrated that I still can't find the answer to this question.

Hi Alicia

I'm hoping that this guide is just what you need How do I add assignment types, pages, and files as module items?

If not, then please give a little more detail and we will see what we can do to support you.
