What problem are you trying to solve with Submitty
A new option was added to the Rainbow Grades configuration file (config.json) but this option is not available from the Web UI. The field is "show_notes". It now defaults to "never" if the field is not included in the config.json. We would like to make this option available from the Rainbow Grades Configuration page.
It is an option for both "Numeric/Text" and "Checkpoint" type gradeables. The other options for this field are "instructor_only", "student_only", and "student_and_instructor".
e.g., this is an example of its use for a checkpoint gradeable:
{
"type": "lab",
"count": 14,
"remove_lowest": 0,
"percent": 0.15,
"ids": [
{ "max": 3, "release_date": "2025-09-03 23:59:59-0400", "id": "lab01", "curve": [ 3, 3, 2, 1.5 ], "show_notes" : "instructor_only" },
... ETC.
}
The design for this feature should be thoughtful -- we don't want to unnecessarily clutter up the interface.
Perhaps this option should be visible only when "show category/gradeable configuration" is switched on.
