Good afternoon, I have received the feedback shared here in the Community regarding the concerns with the Inbox Refactor and the loss of the ability to add/include Observers, via your custom script. We’ve heard you. Our Engineering Team has reviewed the functionality available via the custom script and Gradebook and I am pleased to share that we will be able to include that functionality within this refactor, inline with what is currently available. We are working on the update, we will make it available in Beta as soon as it is available and will delay the move to Production to the December 17th release.
So as to not set unrealistic expectations for the future, it is important to note that there is risk associated with using custom coding and that risk is assumed by/the responsibility of the end user. Custom code may be negatively impacted by product updates we may make, at any time. Additionally and unfortunately, we may not always be able to offer a positive resolution in support of custom coding or have the ability to match functionality that might be available in a different Canvas application for varied reasons, as we will be able to do with this update.
As always, thank you for your interest in Canvas, in Inbox, your dedication to your students and for being a valued member of our Community.
