Product:
Learn SaaS
Release:
SaaS
Service Pack(s):
Ultra
Description:
In the Ultra Experience when the automatic zeros option is checked and there is an assignment with a due date expired, when overriding the grade it will still show the automatic zero label. To remove it, the instructor can extend the due date, but it sets the grade to 0 instead of keeping the overridden grade.
Steps to Repeat:
  1. Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator 
  2. Create an Ultra course and enroll an instructor and a student
  3. As the instructor, create an assignment
  4. Set the due date to the past
  5. Go to the submissions and make them visible
  6. Leave and access the submissions page. Notice the automatic zero.
  7. Make the assignment hidden for students and override the grade
  8. Go to the assignment settings and extend the due date (4 days ahead of your current date is fine)
  9. Go back to the submissions and make them visible (exit the current window and get back if needed)



Observed Behavior:
The grade is set to 0.

Expected Behavior:
The overridden grade is kept.





Target Release:
