Cannot update overridden category totals

Cannot update overridden category totals

Hello Fellow Moodlers,

I am trying to remove the override on a category total in the grader report but the gradebook doesn't allow me to do this like for the grade items within a category. 

Unable to see the gear icon for category total. Am I missing something here? 

Even when I turn editing on, the category totals cannot be manually entered like in the other grade items in the grader report. 

I do have formulas entered for the category totals (Week 1....., Project 1, etc.). Is that the reason this happens? 

Any advice here to debug this would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.

It looks like, after it was changed, the admin setting to allow category total overrides was turned off.  You need to go into the admin grade settings and allow category overrides and then remove the override.  I suggest turning it back on afterwards so as to avoid this in the future.

Oh yes! Thanks Emma. Totally missed that setting in admin options.

As usual, the Moodle community rocks!!! 

Thanks again Emma.
