Description

When creating a grading scale, the letter grade boundary is chosen from a drop-down list box and only an integer can be chosen. For example. I chose 89% as the letter grade boundary for an A-. As a result, any grade over 89, example 89.1 displays as an A-. I want only an 89.5 or higher to display as an A-. I am requesting a way to specify any number as a letter grade boundary in addtion to the integer choices currently in the drop-down list box, example 89.49% as the letter grade boundary for A-. Perhaps a "combo-box" instead of a "drop-down list box" in the interface would work.

Edwinna, thanks for your report, and thanks to everyone who has voted.

Assigning to our gradebook expert, Andrew, and setting a fix version of DEV backlog as it is a suggested improvement.

I realize that this is a Moodle 1.9.5 issue in this tracking number.However, we have fixed this issue for Moodle 2.x and I was wondering if we have to create a new issue for Moodle 2.x and then add the fix. Obviously, we would like to see the fix in the core code as to not have to modify the files every time we upgrade. This seems to be a recurring issue in the forums. I have talked to many institutions who have recently moved to Moodle who require this fix. Please let me know were I can post the fix.

Patrick - If you have a patch file or have a Git repository with a branch with the fix feel free to post those here so that they might be considered and evaluated. Peace - Anthony

Is a text field in the place of drop down box sufficient or is it necessary to have text field and drop down box simultaneously? If both text field and drop down box are present then data from both elements gets inserted into the database. With only the text field element , a single insertion occurs.
