The Assignment object

The assignment object returned by Tabula has the properties documented below. Not all properties are guaranteed to be present for a given assignment—for example, submission-related fields such as fileAttachmentLimit or wordCountMin will not be present for assignments that do not collect submissions. For more information on the logic determining which fields are present, the implementation code is available.
