Grades in Gradebook Column not displayed as letter grade when assignment "Display Grade as" is set to "Letter Grade "

Good afternoon, in Beta, I was looking at how grades were displayed in the Gradebook for a particular Assignment.

The Assignment setting for "Display Grade as"  is:  Letter Grade

The Grading Scheme: "Enable course grading scheme" is checked (enabled)

The Grading Scheme is: Default Canvas Grading Scheme (other schemes were checked, including course-level and account-level grading schemes).

In the grade column, when entering a letter grade, I get an error message that this is not the proper grade type.

Settings were tested under both manual and automatic grade posting policy.

In the grade column, when I enter a number, the grade is not converted to a Letter Grade.

If I enter a letter, the error I receive is that I have entered an invalid grade type. I can enter a letter manually in the gradebook, but there is a red circle with an exclamation mark beside it; indicating the problem I have entered an invalid grade type. If I enter numbers, the numbers are valid but do not convert to letters.

May I ask,

  • Is the functionality for this different in Beta than in Production (I only tested in Beta, but also checked that the settings in Beta matched the ones in Production)
  • If the Assignment Setting is set to "Display Grade as" Letter Grade, is the expectation that in the  individual column for that Assignment that the Grade will display as a Letter Grade? 
  • Are there any additional steps for the Display Grade as Letter Grade that I may have missed?

Thank you so much for your time!
