Grading via mastery rubric flags assignment as "graded"

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something about the way "graded" assignments work in Blackbaud, but whenever I grade an assignment using a mastery rubric, I also have to assign a number grade (which is completely arbitrary as I'm not interested in some overall grade for each assignment, just in the aggregation of each individual skill over the course of the year/semester/whatever). Otherwise, if I "just" grade using the mastery rubric, my assignment remains flagged as "ungraded." It seems like extra work to have to calculate an average for the assignment and plug it into the "Grade:" field when I click the "comment" button

    I know that this says it has been implemented, but my teachers have found that if they do Total Points and Mastery, which is what is needed to allow annotations and comments to show up for their students, it will still show that there are 0 graded if they have only graded by skill. So, maybe this goes under another issue of allowing notations and comments to show if it is Mastery only. But again, this should all work together as Mastery is a type of grading, not a separate thing.

    Considering that Mastery grading is a type of actual grading, it feels false to have to type in a fake average to just mark something as graded. This is an important step to connecting to the two systems.
