M in the gradebook needs to count as a zero

We need to be able to label an assignment as missing "M" and it count as a zero.

    I think that our teachers will want the ability to configure what (if any) numeric grade or letter grade should be recorded for the Missing flag (or other flags).

    This does not already exist! When an assignment has no grade because it hasn't been turned in, it is not calculated in the cumulative grade. What we want is that when an assignment is marked Missing to calculate it in the grade (as a zero).

    I believe that the teacher who suggested this to me wanted it to automatically place the zero if they did not fill the grade in. That way if they missed adding a zero when it came time to calculate the grade, if there was an M there, the program would recognize the empty box as a zero.

    I show that we can already update as missing and enter a zero: see screen below. If there is more detail of what the gap is or something you're looking to do let me know!
