Due Date Showing After Being Removed

[ElizabethPorkko]

I copied a couple of assignments and discussions from other courses (they had similar format to this course). 

They had due dates from 2022, which I then removed. I then copied the format for the entirety of the course. 

Canvas is still showing that these assignments have the 2022 due dates when looking at each module.

When I go to edit the due dates, there are none. When I masquerade as a student, the 2022 due dates show up in the module view. 

When I click on the assignment, it says "no due date" both as an admin and in student view. 

Is this a small error that will go away, or will it copy for each of my instructors this way?

@ElizabethPorkko If you go to the Edit Assignment Dates option under the menu on the Assignments page, to you see any dates there?

[ElizabethPorkko]

No, there are no due dates here.

When you edited the due dates to remove them, did you remove them by going to each assignment and editing the dates there or did you use the bulk edit feature?

For the assignments that are showing a due date for students, have you tried going to Modules and clicking the 3 dots on the right of the module item for those assignments and clicking "Assign To" to check the due date settings there?

I tried to remove it both ways, both show that there is no due date, but in module view, they still show Jan 9, 2022. In the "Assign To" there is also no due date shown.

Hi @ElizabethPorkko,

The date inputs in your screenshot all look correct to me, so I'm at a loss as to why Canvas is showing a due date under those assignments in your modules list.  I'd recommend that you contact Canvas support to report this issue so they can look into this and see if this is some kind of edge case bug in their recent updates to modules.  Posting to the community here is great for confirmation (or not) of issues like this, but confirmed issues do need to ultimately get reported to support so they can get escalated to engineering.

If support is able to confirm the issue or tell you how to fix it, please do come back here and let the community know!
