LTI 1.3 Grade not sync at schoology(invalid format: timestamp)

[sunnybaya]

Hi,

I am trying to send a grade from our tool(LTI 1.3) to Schoology but getting an exception I.e 

Unable to complete request: Field value has invalid format: timestamp

Here are the request parameters:-

https://lti-service.svc.schoology.com/lti-service/tool/6949656830/services/assignment-grade/v2p0/sec...

[score_maximum:IMSGlobal\LTI\LTI_Lineitem:private] => 100

[label:IMSGlobal\LTI\LTI_Lineitem:private] => Graded Quiz Companion Reader 2 The Can Score [resource_id:IMSGlobal\LTI\LTI_Lineitem:private] => 6995544715

[tag:IMSGlobal\LTI\LTI_Lineitem:private] => score

[start_date_time:IMSGlobal\LTI\LTI_Lineitem:private] => 2023-10-23T08:17:30Z [end_date_time:IMSGlobal\LTI\LTI_Lineitem:private] => 2023-10-23T08:17:30Z

Also, I have used this time format i.e. 2023-10-23T08:17:30+00:00 but still getting the same issue. 

Please have a look and let me know if I missed something.

  -score_maximum: 100
  -comment: null

Here is the Assessment and Grade Services (AGS) 2.0 documentation on the format of timestamps to be used when sending grades:

https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-ags/v2p0#example-of-valid-timestamps

It states the following:

Timestamp values MUST be formatted using ISO 8601 with a sub-second precision.

Your timestamps do not seem to include the required millisecond property

Hi,

After correcting the timestamp, I think the invalid format: timestamp exception is gone but getting a null response from Schoology, and the grade is still not updated at Schoology's end.

Hey! Found my way to this thread via Google. If you haven't already figured it out, I was able to see the grade updated on the Schoology end, but Schoology returns a 201 instead of a 204 as suggested by the docs: https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-ags/v2p0#score-publish-service.

In the specs for the API itself, you can see 201 is valid if it's a completely new score being recorded: https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-ags/v2p0/openapi/#/default/Scores.POST.

So you probably have something else going on in terms of not seeing the grade in Schoology. =( What HTTP code response are you getting?
