    Description

      If a site has calculations in the gradebook and grade_report_showcalculations is off (but teachers are still able to see the icon and add calculations), and is upgraded to 2.8, the teachers will not be able to edit the calculations (grade_report_showcalculations behaviour is fixed and teachers won't see an icon).

      The solution to this would be to allow calculation edit if it already exists even if a global or user preferences are off. Other proposed solutions doesn't seem to work (see comments).

      I think 2 things should happen.

      1. We should add an upgrade step to enable the setting if there are calculations in any gradebook on the site.
      2. Even if the setting is off - if a grade item already has a calculation we should still let you edit it.
