Can anyone tell me what causes the "overridden" flag to be set? -- OTHER than manually entering marks via the Gradebook rather than through the activity.
I found this in the documentation (my emphasis added):
"[the overridden] flag is often set internally by the gradebook, but can be switched on and off manually using this form element." http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Grade_editing#Overridden
This suggests to me that there might be other conditions which cause Moodle to set the overridden flag.
We have a faculty member who swears he never entered marks via the Gradebook, but many (not all) of the student course totals were overridden, as were a number (some, not all) category totals, and some activity marks as well.
We're stumped as to how that could happen and are wondering if it might be something along the lines of the "Extra credits" box being selected when a teacher switches back and forth between "Weighted Mean" and "Simple weighted mean".
