'Assign to' panel in Assignments now hides due dates and availability dates

The “assign to” overhaul has been great to enhance the areas where you can apply this feature (Modules, Pages, etc).

However, the change applied in the Assignment area now "hides" where to set due dates.

This change may cause Instructors (particularly those new to Canvas) to miss setting a due date or availability date on an Assignment. 

Would it be possible to make it clearer that the "Assign Access" also includes setting Availability and Due Dates? 

Perhaps include in the Manage Assign To link mention Due Dates? e.g. "Manage Assign To and Dates

Or the heading to be Assign Access and Set Dates

Thanks for your consideration

@AM_Learning It is my understanding that there are already plans for an update to this change based on feedback received thus far. I believe we may see something in August or September.
