Due date for graded Discussion topic?

Question

I have an instructor who has a series of graded discussion topics in his course.  He wants to add a due date to each topic but neither of us can see this option anywhere.  Is it possible to add a due date to a graded discussion or can we only set start date/end date followed by manually creating a calendar event for a "due date"?

Thank you for your time!

Hi @Lydia.R.220 , Thank you for reaching Brightspace Community!

Yes, there is an upcoming feature for Discussion due dates that is expected to be release on December 2025.

Hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Has this issue been resolved since a year ago? I have the same issue: I have multiple graded discussions and the end date is not showing up on the calendar

Thank you, Heba!

I suspected this wold be the subject of an already submitted feature enhancement.

One of the workarounds I recommended to the Instructor was to apply a due date to the unit where the link to the graded discussion was placed.  I think we can still work with this in its current form.

Thank you for your time!
