Why does 'missing' status for an assignment remain after I enter a grade?

[rwaters]

Hello! I use Canvas for a high school math course. Most students turn their assignments in handwritten on paper. Some requested to upload assignments from their tablets. I set the assignments for 'online submission' for the tablet students. The other students I grade by hand and enter into the grade-book. Works fine, except the assignments of the graded-by-hand students now have a status of 'missing' on the student, even though I have entered a grade and the grade is visible to the student.  I can go into each student's grade for each assignment  and change the status to 'none', but I have to do that each assignment for each assignment.

I think that entering a grade should remove the 'missing' status, but it doesn't.

This was not an issue with the old grade-book. We're using the new one.

The following links might provide some insight:

How do I change the status of a submission in the New Gradebook? 

Hope this helps!

Hello! Thank you for the script, but to be honest, I don’t think it will be action-able for many of our teachers. Do you know if Canvas intends to fix this issue?

Yeah, that's way too many clicks if I'm entering in an assignment score for 200+ students to change their status. Either having it remove Missing automatically when entering manual scores or implement a keyboard shortcut (i.e. typing "M") to be able to quickly change the status. As it is, I just have to take a minute to explain to students that if something is Missing but has a score, it's okay. That, or I just have them submit a placeholder so that Canvas is happy by having a submission from the side of the student.
