[Assignments] Place in Module when Assignment Created

[TampaNative]

When an Assignment is created, it would be beneficial to be able to have a drop-down menu to select a Module to place the assignment in. This could work as the assignment category. 

After creating an Assignment then having to go back and add it to the Module and be time-consuming.

YES!  This would save me so many clicks and so much time.  PLEASE!

I like the creation and edition assignments options we currently have but...

I have created many assignments that are great but then I forget to add them to the module until my students tell me they cannot find it, after a due date has passed:-).  Grrrr. 

I can chalk it up to old age I guess but I am also teaching 6 preps and I simply don't have a lot of time and I just don't remember that added step of putting it into the module.  

IF WE COULD HAVE A DROP DOWN BOX OF OUR MODULES UNDER THE ASSIGNMENTS GROUP BOX ON THE ASSIGNMENT CREATION/EDIT WINDOW IT WOULD BE SO HELPFUL AND TIME SAVING.  This is one more thing that Canvas could do that kicks the butt of Moodle.

This is great!  You could even have a check box option, to disable if necessary, for those that do not use modules.

It would be nice to associate assignments with a module when they are created. Instead, today I have to either go to the specific module under modules section and then add the assignment there or move the assignment I created elsewhere (my preferred place to create assignments is the calendar) to the respective module. I'd like to add/create the assignment on the calendar page so it automatically fills in the due date.

Problem statement:

Adding a new assignment to an existing Module takes a bunch of extra time-consuming steps even though it is really just a linkage to a sortable bucket.

Proposed solution:

I am making a request / recommendation to add a Module field to the Assignments edit screen and the Assign To pop-up window.  Canvas already has the ability to assign an Assignment to an existing Module when it is being copied, so this doesn't seem like it should be too difficult. If there is a problem being able to select a Module in the Assignment edit screen because a brand new assignment technically doesn't exist yet because it has never been saved, making the option available in only the Assign To pop-up window would be a nice workaround as that option is available once the Assignment is saved from the same screen.
