Copy a course, keep multiple section deadlines?

When I copy my courses with a single section, deadlines are easy peasy. I adjust the start date for the course and everything comes out perfectly with all the deadlines moving. I check them, but no extra work.

But when I copy my course for the new year that has multiple sections, each section has its own deadline and all the deadlines disappear. I would LOVE to be able to copy the course and have the section one and section two deadlines all shift the same way that the single deadlines do. I tried searching, but I can't find anything about this. Is it just impossible?

To my knowledge, Canvas does not provide you with a way to automatically adjust multiple section deadlines at once. This would be something that you would have to manually adjust.
