Syncing assignments to Powerschool worth 0 points

For several years, we've had teachers create assignments worth 0 points that are used for course-level extra credit (rather than assignment extra credit). Recently, Canvas stopped syncing these assignments and I thought I found an article saying assignments weren't synced using OneRoster until there was at least one score, but I can't find that anywhere.
The Instructor FAQ for grade passback doesn't mention a score requirement for assignments to sync. Can anyone shed some light on why these won't post to Powerschool?

@bbennett2 Because the way the PowerSchool Manages Extra Credit, the "0"-point Assignment that is normally done in Canvas isn't an option. The easiest workaround that I know of is to make the Assignment worth 1 point total, and then award students more than 1 point on the assignment. For the assignment not to affect the grades of the students that don't earn extra credit they could either be excused from the assignment or given 1 point as a grade on it. PowerSchool should allow the assignment (with a total points of 1) to sync with Canvas successfully.

Hello @SystemAdministr
it might be best to submit a ticket to Canvas support on this and have them check with their SIS integrations team to see why this is not syncing over as expected. I also recall seeing something on this in the past, but I also can't seem to locate any documentation on this now.
I would love to know what they find out as I am also curious about this.
Let us know what you find out on this!
