How do I set the assignment Submission Type to default to No Submission instead of Online?
Hello @JoshuaEggenberg - my experience is that when I create a new assignment, Canvas recalls the last assignment I created for that course and presents that submission type. I see this within the course I am working on but the behavior does not transfer from course A to B, for example. That said, once I create an assignment using 'the 'No Submission' submission type in the next course I am working on, then that is the new default for that course.
Are you seeing this as well?
From the guide: Assignment settings are persistent; they default to the options you used when creating or editing the previous assignment in the course. Based on prior assignments, one or more of these options may already be selected for you.

Only sporadically. It works like that for me when I create multiple assignments in the same course during the same session, but it forgets by the next time I log in. I usually create them one at a time, so effectively defaults to Online every time for me.
Thank you for trying! 😉
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS.

I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
