Hi, Recently the Grade Posting Policy has been added to the New Gradebook: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-16958-canvas-release-notes-2019-07-13#jive_content_id_Grade_Post_Policies Currently the default option is Automatically Post Grades, but we want to have all our courses set to Manually Post Grades. We would like to do this using the API and it seems this is possible using the GraphQL API. I have been trying to understand how this works using the following resources: * # GraphQL API - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation * canvas-lms/schema.graphql at master · instructure/canvas-lms · GitHub * Introspection | GraphQL * Experimental GraphQL API? * https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-16958-canvas-release-notes-2019-07-13#jive_content_id_Grade_Post_Policies * 2. Inserting data with GraphQL Mutations - YouTube I'm using Postman to experiment with the GraphQL API and managed to read data. To change the Post Policy of an assignment I came up with the following code: POST {{canvas_url}}/api/graphql GRAPHQL VARIABLES { "canvas_course_id": 26163 } QUERY mutation ($canvas_course_id: ID!) { setCoursePostPolicy(objects: [{ courseId:$canvas_course_id, postManually:true }]) { errors postPolicy } } I keep on getting the error "Field 'setCoursePostPolicy' is missing required arguments: input" and I don't know why. What do I need to change to make it work?

@stelpstra Have you tried this through the /graphiql endpoint of Canvas? When I go there and click on mutation and click on setCoursePostPolicy, it comes up with this: mutation MyMutation { __typename setCoursePostPolicy ( input : { courseId : "2517260" , postManually : true } ) } That didn't work, it complained about not having some required results, so I modified it to return the error and postPolicy like you had (sort of) mutation MyMutation { __typename setCoursePostPolicy ( input : { courseId : "2517260" , postManually : true } ) { errors { attribute message } postPolicy { postManually } } } This is what it looks like in the Explorer And this is what the result comes back as { "data" : { "__typename" : "Mutation" , "setCoursePostPolicy" : { "errors" : null , "postPolicy" : { "postManually" : true } } } } Here's what it shows in my course gradebook settings I changed the true to false and now I have this \ It looks like you know how to make the call with the REST API, so I'll stop here. I haven't actually accomplished that yet, only doing things through the /graphiql interface.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How to read and change Course Post Policy of the New Gradebook with GraphQL

Hi,

Recently the Grade Posting Policy has been added to the New Gradebook:

https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-16958-canvas-release-notes-2019-07-13#jive_content_id_Grade_Post_Policies

Currently the default option is Automatically Post Grades, but we want to have all our courses set to Manually Post Grades. We would like to do this using the API and it seems this is possible using the GraphQL API. I have been trying to understand how this works using the following resources:

I'm using Postman to experiment with the GraphQL API and managed to read data. To change the Post Policy of an assignment I came up with the following code:

POST {{canvas_url}}/api/graphql

GRAPHQL VARIABLES

{<BR />    "canvas_course_id": 26163<BR />}<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

QUERY

mutation ($canvas_course_id: ID!) {<BR />    setCoursePostPolicy(objects: [{<BR />            courseId:$canvas_course_id,<BR />            postManually:true<BR />        }]) {<BR />        errors<BR />        postPolicy<BR />    }<BR />}<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

I keep on getting the error "Field 'setCoursePostPolicy' is missing required arguments: input" and I don't know why.

What do I need to change to make it work?

Catalog/Stripe and Multiple Payments
Because Catalog only supports a single payment for an entire purchase, I want the entire transaction to happen in Stripe so that our learners can pay over an arbitrary number of months to Stripe and each payment is reported to Canvas.

Hello, Our K12 district is using Qmlativ as our SIS and sync through API.

Anything in the pipeline for Listing type = link to sub-catalogue?
Hi, I was wondering if there was anything in the pipeline so on Canvas Catalog it could link to an entire sub-catalogue?

How does "Participation: Course" + manually input start/end dates play with Course Pacing?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
