Thanks. Just to be clear: "changing the displayed score to match the override grade" is the legacy (long-time) behavior of Sakai before this modification.

I believe the consensus was that the student's original percentage should be displayed. This allows the instructor to see what the student's grade was prior to the override. Changing the displayed score to match the override grade would obscure the fact that the student originally had a different percentage, making it more difficult to determine which grades have been overridden.

Can someone from the T&L group confirm that this is indeed what was discussed per: "This has been reviewed by the T+L team on 03/07 and consensus has been reached."
do you remember?

The grade override displays the new grade with the old percentage. Also checked the override log and it tracks the overrides.

The new-behavior.png shows an example. Student has a calculated course grade of 59.09% (fail) but the course grade override is a C (bolded). Old behavior would show "C (70%)" which was undesirable to many as a manual calculation of the student's grade is not a 70%.
When Course Grade override is entered, the percentage displayed is changed to the minimum of the override grade's range.
Preferred behavior:
Display original percentage
Example: Override grade to an "A" and gradebook displays a 90% and the expected behavior would be to make the percentage middle of the range for example 95% instead.
This has been reviewed by the T+L team on 03/07 and consensus has been reached.
