The option to make a new discussion "Graded" is grayed out. How do I select it?

I am creating a new discussion, which I have done earlier in the semester. But now the option to select "Graded" is grayed out and I cannot select it. Suggestions?

It sounds like you might have that discussion assigned to a specific section, can you try assigning your discussion to all sections or "everyone" and then see if the graded option becomes available?

If you want to create a section-specific discussion that is not graded, click the Post to drop-down menu [4]. You can select one or multiple sections. To create a graded section-specific discussion, use the discussion options.

You can find that documented here

That was it. Thanks!
