      Do not attempt to set the "Maximum points" value to zero. Instead, make sure it is always greater than zero and less than 301.

      Description

      When you create or edit an assignment and make changes to the "Grade" section (specifically the "Maximum points"), if you attempt to give a maximum point value of zero, the form submission is rejected and you receive this message:

      Invalid Grade Value. This must be an integer between 0 and 300

      Now, if you instead give a maximum point value of 300, the form submission will be accepted. I propose changing the message to be:

      Invalid Grade Value. This must be an integer between 1 and 300.

      This better matches how people think when you use the word "between" and also makes valid the given minimum and maximum values.
