LON-CAPA will automatically replace the award set by the customresponse item if it was one of INCORRECT, APPROX_ANS or EXACT_ANS, and in the case of the two *_CREDIT awards will award a score of 1.0, regardless of whether the student's submission was 'correct' or not. The intent of SUBMITTED_CREDIT and ANONYMOUS_CREDIT is to assign credit to students for making a submission to a survey item (which could be any type of response item). The questiontype parameter is used to assign a problem as survey, anonymous survey (with or without credit). I have just committed a minor change to LON-CAPA so that for questiontype of survey with a customresponse which returns ASSIGNED_SCORE, the behavior will be the same as for INCORRECT, APPROX_ANS or EXACT_ANS.

I have to admit, I was hoping for an easier way. > I have added you as a Cc on two existing enhancement requests: (i) "Specify membership of group(s) when uploading list of users to a course", and (ii) "Allow upload of group attributes via CSV upload". See: https://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5904 and https://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6896 The status of both bugs is "Assigned". Currently, as Course Coordinator you need to create each group one at a time using the People --> Groups web form, as Gene described. Once the group(s) are created it would be possible to use a CSV file to assign membership in the group(s) to users in the CSV file, by using: People --> Users --> "Upload a File of Course Users" to assign students to new sections, if you had previously configured each group to include: "Automatically enable group membership when roles are added". To avoid interfering with any existing real section(s), you could temporarily assign a custom role (with section) in order to trigger the group membership changes. Once done, you would expire all the assigned custom roles. The section names and group names need to be unique, but you could easily use a prefix in each section name to distinguish it from the group to which it would be mapped. It is debatable whether the workaround I describe in the previous paragraph is easier than checking checkboxes for the students you wish to assign to each group. However, if your course contained many students, it would likely be quicker to add a column to your excel file with the "sections" to map, and configure each group to use the appropriate mapping than to use the standard People --> Users -> Groups --> Modify --> "Add member(s) to the group" method to assign group memberships to students (with much checking of checkboxes).
