Hey @Tarun Malhotra​ !

 

Looking at the JSON you're passing through and the relevant documentation (http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/grade.html#Grade.GradeObject), I can see that you're missing two JSON parameters:

 

• Description
• Associated Tool

 

Could you please try updating your JSON so that it looks like this:

 

{

"MaxPoints":2.0,

"CanExceedMaxPoints":true,

"IsBonus":false,

"ExcludeFromFinalGradeCalculation":false,

"GradeSchemeId":null

"Name":"SoomoChapter2",

"ShortName":"soomo_chapter_1",

"GradeType":"Numeric",

"CategoryId":null,

"Description":{"Content":"Description","Type":"Text"}, 

"AssociatedTool":null

}

 

Try it out and let us know if it works!

Hey @Maja Kokotovic​ 

 

I tried your suggestion as above, but am still getting the same error. Attached herewith is a screenshot illustrating the error!

Hey @Tarun Malhotra​,

 

I think your input JSON is just missing a comma after the GradeSchemeId. The following should work for you:

 

{

"MaxPoints":2.0,

"CanExceedMaxPoints":true,

"IsBonus":false,

"ExcludeFromFinalGradeCalculation":false,

"GradeSchemeId":null,

"Name":"SoomoChapter2",

"ShortName":"soomo_chapter_1",

"GradeType":"Numeric",

"CategoryId":null,

"Description":{"Content":"Description","Type":"Text"}, 

"AssociatedTool":null

}

 

Hope that works for you,

Dave
