Available from date locking students out of Discussions

[smathews]

I've had multiple instructors who have issues with the Due Date becoming the Available From date in the discussion redesign. That is, although the Available From date is blank, and the discussion is published and the module is not locked, the Student View says the discussion is not available until the due date. The only solution I could use was to make a new discussion. Does anyone else have this issue?

Apparently this is a known issue and they are working on it.  If you submit this to Canvas Support, they can tell you when it gets fixed.

Here was a recent update I received from my support ticket:  "It is something on our end that caused the issue. We are currently investigating the root cause. You will be notified of all the updates. You can also see the details HERE."
