Late Policy

Hello!  Our school has a late policy .  We recently adjusted the policy from 5% to to 2.5% late penalty to a minimum of 80% off.  In the old system of late penalties (5% to 50% minimum), whenever students had less than 50% late penalties were not applied, which is probably just as well.  So, if I changed it to 80%, late penalties would not be applied to and mark lower than 80%.  Here is what I think the Canvas Developers should do.  In my opinion, the late policy window in Canvas needs another check mark option of "apply late grades regardless of grade percentage".  It would need to work somehow in conjunction with "Lowest possible grade percent".  Or, the meaning of  "Lowest possible grade percent" needs to be changed to how much the late penalty can actually take off (down to 80% of the score).  Thanks for listening to my meanderings.
