Add additional column in gradebook Ex: proficiency score

Context: We currently store a single score obtained from an API, but we now need to include an additional piece of data, such as a proficiency score. We are exploring options for storing these extra values in our Canvas implementation. 

Considerations:

  1. Canvas Custom Gradebook API:

    • Creating custom columns seems possible, but they are not directly related to assignments.

  2. Multiple Line Items for a Single Assignment:

    • Consider creating two line items for a single assignment – one for the main score and another for proficiency.
    • Uncertain about the feasibility  in the Canvas Gradebook.

Questions:

  • Is it possible to link custom columns to specific assignments or line items in the Canvas Gradebook API?
  • Can multiple line items be created for a single assignment in Canvas, each representing a different type of score?
