There are two issues as I see it.   1. Those who want to use the standards-referenced grading functions of Canvas in a traditionally graded system (i.e. outcomes and mastery paths).  Those of us you believe that is the way grading should be done can use those features to avoid giving zeros for anything.  The last thing I would want to see is a forced feature requiring all missing work to be seen as a zero. 2. Our current SIS does not recognize the Canvas missing assignment indicator (triggered by due dates) and doesn't populate a "missing assignment" indicator.  By adding the zero when using gradebook to SIS sync feature I have to add a zero to those missing assignments manually (or through gradebook settings) to create the missing assignment indicator.  I do not want this to stick as I do not want to show students zeros, I just want the assignments to show up as missing in SIS.  This in turn, gives all missing work a zero in the SIS which I don't want either, I just want it to show missing. I wish there was a way to trigger the missing assignment indicator in the SIS without the zero, which might help our philosophical zero debate be solved. I can see the benefit of making this feature be a choice that resets to the current default.  Would it be possible to make the function like the "Overwrite all users' existing default dashboard preferences" in default view admin settings?  This allows us to periodically reset student default views to card view.  Adding the view graded as zero function with a message and check box users could see zeros for SIS syncing and informational purposes then reset at the next nightly Canvas Sync? ...
