If not already a feature, can students see a 0* in the grade book when a due date passes rather than just a 0. Teachers see 0* but it is not the same for students.
Thank you for your question! The asterisk (*) displays for users who have enabled the setting "Use visual indicators in addition to color (applies to below-passing scores, dashboard lights, etc.)" within their user profile settings. If students wish to see the asterisk, they can enable this setting in their profile.
I confirmed that this does not work. In fact, it seems that the * is gone from every view. Please consider adding it back for teachers and students. It is very helpful for both.
Specifically, the 0s on individual assignments, not on the course total.
Thank you for your follow-up message. To clarify, the asterisk (*) in the gradebook is a personal setting that can only be enabled by individual users. It has never been a global setting that can be applied to other users. If you would like to enable this setting for an individual user, you can follow the steps below. Note that this was done from the teacher point of view, but it is a similar process from the student point of view.
1. Initially, notice that none of the activities in my test course gradebook have an asterisk.
2. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select Settings.
3. Scroll down to the section titled Other. Check the box that says Use visual indicators in addition to color (applies to below-passing scores, dashboard lights, etc.). Click Save at the top right.
4. After returning to the gradebook, you should see the asterisk appear next to grades and activities that are below passing.
5. As mentioned previously, this can be done by other users, such as students, by having them follow the steps. Below is an image of my test course gradebook in student view:
Please let me know if you have any further questions or would like additional assistance. Thanks!

Thank you for those details.
My intention here is to request a feature we do not currently have, namely more of a visual cue for students that auto 0s are resubmitted assignments.
If there is a better place for me to make a product feature request, please let me know.
