Marking workflow and multiple attempts

Marking workflow and multiple attempts

Hi everyone,

I was wondering about a solution to the following challenge:

We have an assignment with multiple attempts (automatic until pass) for which we also set up the marking workflow. The issue now is that we release the grades and feedback, by setting the status to Released. If a student has a grade < passing, a new attempt automatically opens, but the marking/grading status remains Released.

I'd expect the status for the status to revert to Submitted but not graded once a new attempt is opened, but that doesn't happen.

Can this be solved?

Voted, obviously. Wouldn't mind seeing this in 4.4 already.

I did't know that.

But, we ran into something similar: When a student submits the first assignment and the workflow status is not set to released, the feedback and grade will be released automatically when a second attempt is given to the student.

This case happened a lot:

- Student submits work
- Teacher started grading and giving feedback
- Teacher grades with <5.5 and opens up a new attempt for the student
- At that time, the first attempt is immediately released to the student (even if the marking workflow is not set to released yet)
