Action
Update Grade Object
Updates a specific grade object. the grade object can be one of four types: 1. numeric: for numeric grades with max points 2. passfail: for pass/fail assessments 3. selectbox: for predefined grade options 4. text: for text-only feedback note: the provided data completely replaces the existing grade object's data. returns a gradeobject json block containing the updated grade object's data. requires oauth2 scope: - grades:gradeobjects:write available in api versions 1.75+ (lms v20.24.5+)
Why this helps
Grade item changes can be recorded in project work yet left unapplied in the course gradebook.
- Carry grade item requests into course administration.
- Keep the requested change and task together.
- Catch missing identifiers before an update is attempted.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and D2lbrightspace once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe that a grade change task moved to the processing section should update the identified Brightspace grade object using the complete replacement data, and report missing information.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real grade change task.
Questions about this workflow
What should the task specify?
Include the org unit, grade object identifier, and complete replacement data. Brightspace replaces the existing grade object data with the data provided.
Can this handle a small change to one field?
Because the action replaces grade object data, provide the full intended grade object data in the request rather than only the changed field.
