I can't edit the dates on my Turnitin assignment (staff)

This refers to Moodle 4.5 from August 2025 onwards

Once you have set up a Turnitin Assignment, you need to edit it afterwards to change the dates.

See How to create a Turnitn assignment drop box

1. Open your Turnitin assignment.

2. Move your mouse over the Title, Start Date, Due Date, Post Date or Marks Available. When the pointer becomes a hand icon, click to edit the relevant setting

Editable settings on the Turnitn assignment submission inbox

3. Edit the date using the dropdowns.

4. Click away from the date elsewhere on the page, and it will save automatically.

Known issues

On some screens, particularly when the page is zoomed in or the text size is increased, the checkboxes next to the text may overlap the dates. It is still possible to select the text and make any changes.
