I have this same problem. I mistakenly did not specify the point value for the assignment when I created it. Now, when I use the edit feature as described above, there is no point box to edit. When clicking on "More Options", it takes you to the detail page for the assignment, but again there is no point box to edit (on that page, it should be just below the Instrutions/description box and it isn't). At the top of the details page, it shows "Points 0", but I haven't found a way to change it. I already have scores entered - this was an off-line assignment. I could delete and recreate the assignment shell, but I would prefer not to - I would just like to edit the point value to say 10 points instead of zero. If I delete the assignment, I will have to re-enter the grades.
