[Catalog] User Defined Fields by Listing

Problem statement:

We want to see where users who are taking a specific course are located. We have location as a User Defined Field, but the UDF is only tied to registration not a specific course so there is no way to gather this data.

Proposed solution:

UDF should be in the listings report or make it so you can choose the UDF for every course.

User role(s):

admin,instructor,designer

hey @JakeStuckey 
I guess this is a duplicate of https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/People-User-Defined-Fields-by-Course/idi-p/595148 - I also left a comment there, just to be sure.

Can you please tell me more why do you need the location on a listing level, just to justify the use case? Also, do you need any other data on a listing level? 

Thank you!

Hi @KataKeri, as I mentioned, we need to see where people taking a specific course are located. Currently this is not possible.

@JakeStuckey That's clear, what I'm curious about is the why. What do you want to do with the location data?
