Add grade type default setting #327

Open haietza opened 6 years ago

haietza commented 6 years ago

We've had several issues with faculty members creating attendance activities, not realizing the default grade type is set to Points, max 100 (default core setting). By the time they realize this grade setting is not what they want, there are already a few sessions created in the gradebook. Because there is already attendance data, they cannot change the grade settings. This means they have to export all the sessions, delete the activity, add the tool back with the desired grade settings, and import all the sessions again. Because this situation has occurred with some frequency amongst our users and it is a somewhat arduous fixing process, we'd like to request a new feature in the attendance module.

It would be great if you could add a setting to the plugin that would allow site admins to set the default grade settings for an attendance activity. If this setting was configured, when the add an attendance activity form was displayed, it would use these default settings for those form fields instead of the core settings.

Thanks so much for your consideration!
