Bulk assign assignments to a new section

Hello,

We are finding ourselves creating new Sections in the middle of the school year as we get more students signing up.

Is there a way to bulk assign all the Assignments we have added so far to a new Section, based on an existing section?

I already know how to do it one at a time on each Assignment page under Edit Assignment >> Assign >> Add >> Sectionname

Example Scenario:
We have 4 weekly assignments ; 1 Lesson, 1 Practice, 1 Assessment, 1 Printable Copy of all three.

  • We also have unique assignments to find links to the correct virtual classroom assigned for each section.
  • We do not want the students in the same section since we do not want them to be unsure which link to follow.
  • We have section 1 - 9 already set up with due dates on certain days of the week based on when that section runs.
  • Section 3 is full, student is added onto waitlist.
  • We decide to split section 3 into section 3 and section 10.
  • How do I assign all the same due dates to section 10 as section 3 WITHOUT going into all four weekly assignments times 4 weeks = 16 different assignments (so far!) separately and adding the section to that one?
  • I don't want to get to week 20 and have to do this ALL over again for 80 assignments if we split a section again.


I have tried: the "Edit Assignment Dates" for all Assignments on the Course >> Manage Subject >> Assignments page, but the new section is not in the list of dates I can change unless I go in manually one assignment at a time and add them. I also cannot see an SIS upload method for bulk assignments.
