Assigning an empty grade to a status set item

Hi Dan,

We currently use two copies of the attendance activity in our courses from primary - one for purely attendance (P/L/A), and the other for participation in class (1 to 4). We would like to combine the two so the students receives a score of 1 to 4 or absent. Is there any way that either:

1. The absent mark can be set as a null score so that it does not affect the students %, or

2. If we remove the absent and assume a student was not present if no score is entered, would be possible to deselect (or clear) a students assigned grade. We've tried leaving absent students unmarked but if a teacher accidentally clicks the radio button the only way to unmark it is to refresh the page before saving, necessitating a regrade of all students..

BTW, fantastic to see the module included in the mobile app, that has been a great addition for us.

All the best.

Anything is possible with development time or funding smile

The simplest option would be to improve the ability to "unmark" a student. When you start looking at other options the work gets a lot more complex.

If you have internal development resources, pull requests are always welcome! smile
