All of the elements listed above show up so far. I haven't tested for scale extra credit yet. Thanks.
When exporting a gradebook's "grades & structure", all gradebook settings (especially the ones that control the final grade calculation processes) should be included in the export file so that they can be used for auditing of the data and results externally, and used on import to a new gradebook to create one that acts exactly the same as the source gradebook, and produces the same results from the data.
A) currently, at the gradebook level, the settings that are not exported are:
Scale extra credit as if every item is graded:
and
Display course grades:
Display released items:
Display mean:
Display median:
Display mode:
Display rank:
Display item statistics:
Note: of these, the "Scale extra credit ..." flag setting is the most important for auditing (of the grade calculation process) and duplicate gradebook creation.
B) currently, at the category level, the settings that are not exported are:
Weight items equally:
