[Gradebook Settings] Canvas gradebook grade capped at 100%

We need the ability to max canvas gradebook averages at 100%, regardless of what grades the teacher has added. 

We have a SIS integration with Renweb/Facts. We have several awesome students who get 100% on all assignments. Once in a while the teacher will offer extra credit on an assignment, so the student will occasionally earn 105% or so on an assignment (100% for the perfect assignment plus the 5 bonus points). However, when the six weeks grade is calculated, his grade will average to like 102%. We cannot have this on a report card. The max we can show is 100%. 

It would be awesome if there was an admin toggle we could use to max ALL gradebook averages at 100%. Adding this as a feature for each course would be cool too, but probably better if there was one place to specify if we as a school permit grade averages to exceed 100%. Assignment averages over 100% are ok, but not the six weeks average.

We need an *easy* way to cap assignment groups at 100% within each group.  Currently, there is no EASY way of doing this.  As a result, student grades are over-inflated.  Many members of the community also want this feature.  There has to be an easy way of doing this without having to create a separate 0% assignment group.

In my MS Excel gradebook, I set-up a formula to cap assignment groups at 100% within each group.  Instructure, please help.
