Copy Assignments to another Course: Maintain Assignment Type

[TereseToth_NPS]

Has anyone figured out a work around for copying assignments to another course and NOT having them change assignment category to "imported?" This is incredibly frustrating as we do not use imported and when use grade passback any "imported" assignment does not sync. It would save a ton of time if we didn't have to go to each class and update the assignment type.

@TereseToth_NPS If I understood correctly, you want assignments that are copied to a different course to be in the same Assignment Group that is in the parent course. This may depend on what you are selecting to import. 

There is information on this linked here What is the Course Import Tool? - Instructure Community - 21

In my experience if the assignments are being imported individually, they are placed into the imported group and the individual teacher of the course will have to move it to the assignment group they would like it in.

Based on the guide listed above it states. When selecting assignments only, Canvas imports all assessment items within the Assignments page (including any associated quizzes and discussions). Assignments will remain in their assignment groups if an entire assignment group or all assignments are imported.
