How to customize Grade settings to "None" for new LTI instances

Using Moodle 3.3.

Which file do I modify to make the Grade type drop-down menu be set to "None" by default when a new instance of an LTI tool is created?  I also need "Accept grades from this tool" to be UNchecked by default.

In this case, we are using VoiceThread, and VoiceThread can pass grades back and forth. Most of the time, though, the instructors are not using VoiceThread for assessment and so having grading turned on by default leads to the activity being put into the Moodle grade book unnecessarily, which causes confusion.

I would much rather instructors have to opt-in to the grading feature rather than remember to opt-out -- the settings are hidden behind two different parts of the configuration page. Also, there is no setting in the admin's external tool configuration to specify that both the checkbox and the drop-down be set so that no grades are enabled.

My only solution is to hack the code to modify the HTML display of the form, but I don't know which file controls those things.

Can anyone point me the right direction?
