When creating or updating an assignment's properties, it is currently **not** possible to deselect the box labelled "Section due dates type" near the top of the page.
This is problematic because we have students work on individual labs (where the submission deadline needs to vary depending on the lecture section) and group projects (where we want to allow students to form cross-section groups). Right now, this is just not possible: either students are assigned to their correct lecture section (making it possible to control lab submission but impossible to form cross-section groups for projects) or students are assigned to one class-wide "section" (making it possible to form arbitrary groups, but impossible to control lab submission)...
The thing is, the presence of that little tick-box makes it seem like the capacity is already built-in to enforce or ignore sections on a per-assignment basis (exactly what we need)— it's just not working! I'm hoping this is a simple UI issue that can be resolved easily and quickly.
