Gradebook: Hide Assignment Types not in use
I would like to request that assignment types not chosen in the Grade Book setup are not even displayed to teachers, it would force them to setup the Grade Book
When going to add an assignment in the Grade Book when a class is set to marking periods, (GB) does not appear next to the assignments chosen in the Grade Book. Also max points is not there.
I would love it if assignment types not chosen in the Grade Book setup are not even displayed to teachers. It would help force us to set up the Grade Book.

Assignment Types: Only show the ones selected
Merged After selecting the assignment types we will be using in our classes when setting up the gradebooks, it would be nice if the rest of the assignments did not populate when you were making assignments. I have received many requests for this...espec...2 Implemented

Limiting Assignment types when creating an assignment
Merged when creating the gradebook, a teacher chooses their assignment types. When creating the assignment, the dropdown list for the assignment type should be limited to those assignments only.1 Implemented

Strongly agree with what Megan says below. We have the same issues.

Great idea! It definitely causes a problem when a teacher can select an assignment type that is not included in the gradebook categories.

Please add this feature. This would be a huge benefit for our teachers.

I thought we would have seen some movement on this idea by this point....
At the end of every marking period, I have a handful of teachers who used assignment types that were NOT included in their gradebook and therefore not weighted. This means there are assignments that are not weighed properly and it causes all sorts of awkward discussions with parents and students when grades "magically change". While it would be easy to just say, "Be careful" as a teacher myself, I see how easy it would be to screw this up.
Let's say I use the assignment type "Classwork" which will include quizzes and weigh it at 20%. I then create a quiz assignment and instead of selecting "Classwork" I select "Quiz" because IT IS a quiz. Since I don't have the "Quiz" assignment type setup in my grade book, the quiz isn't weighted correctly.

agreed - the gradebook is a weak spot in the system
