IMSCC File Issue: "Import Error: Assignment"

Question

Is anybody else getting a weird message when important an IMSCC file into a new course?  While it says there is an import error (see pic attached) all the assingments and activities come through and are visible to both teachers and students.  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

Hi @mikekaiman1,

I haven't had any reports of errors like that form my university...  Can I ask where the imscc file is coming from?  Is it an exported file form another Canvas course, from a publisher, other LMS, or some other source?  Knowing the source might help to narrow down the possible causes of the error.  If everything appears to work, maybe it's something that can be ignored, but as a computer science person myself I hate seeing weird messages and always want to figure out the cause and hopefully get Instructure to fix things!
