Marking Guide, Late penalty

Marking Guide, Late penalty

I prefer direct grading for assignments, but lately our dept has begun using Marking Guide and I'm stuck with that (no, they're not switching to Rubric, so please don't suggest).
Please can a future someone add the facility to add an optional 'Late Penalty' criterion, with max 0 and min negative value? I have multiple students with late penalties, and I simply can't grade them (I'm having to override multiple grades individually directly in gradebook, and manually type in long breakdowns into a single comment line for each of them in lieu of the existing criteria descriptions and criterion marks and application of late deduction; it's awkward and it's taking an eon).
Eg, of 100 marks total, I need to be able to deduct anywhere between 0 and 25 marks flagged as that student's late penalty. Some get the full 25 off, some 15, some it depends on circumstances so we might apply just -5 for a particular student.
