Notifications on Discussion for Extended Student.
We have a professor who is needing to mark a student as Incomplete for the semester.

Why can't we specify due dates for graded discussion topics?
I'm new to Brightspace. I've searched the articles and discussions, but see nothing about what seems like a very natural and obvious issue: Why aren't due dates able to be specified for graded discussion topics?
