[ARCHIVED] Why don't locations import with events when migrating a course from year-to-year?

[doddj]

Is there a reason the location information is dropped out of calendar events when you import them from one course to another and change the dates? We use the Canvas calendar events to give our students information on the room their classes are in since it can be 3-4 different rooms a day depending on what we are doing (we are in a Medical School for reference). I am working on a draft for a Spring course we ran in Canvas last Spring and when I imported the calendar events and had them transposed to the new dates for this semester, everything transferred except the location information. The location is blank for every calendar event. It is a bit time consuming to go back and re-enter all of this information manually. Is this a flaw in the system or is there a reason this does not transfer?

 @doddj ,

First, I want to apologize for your question sitting in the community for so long without a response.

Second, it looks like you have stumped the Canvas Community.  Were you able to find an answer to your question? I am going to go ahead and mark this question as answered because there hasn't been any more activity in a while so I assume that you have the information that you need. If you still have a question about this or if you have information that you would like to share with the community, by all means, please do come back and leave a comment.
