Multiple Hotspot Grading

Multiple Hotspot has an unfortunate feature of generalizing the points received by the student for a particular question based on finding all relevant spots in the image. This is fine for questions that require completely finding all of the spots, but lacks the flexibility of being able to partially grade students based on their correct answers alone. For example, if an instructor wanted students in Chemistry to find all relevant functional groups in an image of a molecule using hotspot and awarding 1 pt each for each correct identification, a single mistake in their identification leads to the loss of all possible points for that question alone. It seems the feature to manually grade each spot is not yet available in Canvas, and I have resorted to manually regrading each hotspot question to reflect the number of correct answers in the question. Could this feature be added to Canvas in the future? Or are there other question types more suitable to the example given above? I'd love to hear any opinion or support regarding this. Thank you in advance!
