I keep getting this error message
An error occurred while creating the Group Set: doFetchApi received a bad response: 400
as I am attempting to put my students into groups. The class begins tomorrow morning.
Hi @EliseJohnson3 ...
I might suggest reaching out to Canvas Support to see if they could dig deeper into this error message with you. They might need to send this up to their engineers to take a look at. Or, someone else may have also reported this...so that you could be added to the support case.
You might also try clearing your history/cache from your browser, shutting down your browser, and then re-starting your browser to see if the error reappears or not. Or, you could try a different browser completely like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
Please come back to this topic to provide an update for us so that we know if you found a solution or not. Thanks!
Hi @EliseJohnson3
We haven't heard from your on this issue in a while. I hope this means that you were able to find a solution! If not please let us know and consider @Chris_Hofer's advice of contacting support.

I…
Our college would like to disable the Core Canvas tool "Syllabus" by default, so that it automatically doesn't show on Course Navigation menus. Is that possible? A fellow admin asked our CSM about disabling Syllabus by default, but the CSMs may be understandably busy at the moment. Below I rounded up some past comments…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
