In New Report Card and Transcript Builder, ability to display Grade Abbreviation for STANDARD grades, not just Assessment (Skill) Grades.

Currently, when you create a column on a report card to display a grade, your choices all involve either only the original numeric value, or the 'Letter Grade'. However, 'Letter Grade' actually only means the 'Grade Label' column of a Grade Translation. Additionally, the 'Grade Label' column does not allow duplicate values. This means that in situations like our screenshot attached, we cannot simultaneously display an 'A' for a range of numeric grades, while maintaining a more accurate GPA across smaller increments within the full range of numeric grades that fall under that same letter grade.

Letting the Abbreviation (which does not error for 'duplicate' values) show as an option in addition to 'Letter' (which is really the Grade Label) and 'Numeric' would solve this issue.

    An option was added to the Grade Translations to allow schools to select whether Letter Grade in the new report card and transcript builders use the Abbreviation or the Grade Label when translating. This option was released on 8/18/2020.
