Is it possible for Instructors to import feedback comments to the Grades Tool

Question

Hi There,

I'm wondering if there is any way for instructors to import feedback comments via the Import function within the Grades Tool?

Currently the csv file only contains columns for whatever Grade items have been selected for export. Is it possible to add a feedback column for import when populated?  A similar query was submitted to the community 3 years ago -

When manually entering grade via the Enter Grades in the Grades tool there is a field for comments but I'm not seeing a way that these comments can be imported.

Any advice appreciated!

Jennifer

It's stupidly ridiculous that such a simple feature, mightily easy to implement, with no breakage of past behavior, has been requested for 5 years with no sign of improvement.  You're making it really hard to like D2L as instructors.
