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.

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point."
