Author API Initialization

Controls whether authors can override Item validation points for individual Questions within an Activity.

You would want to use this so that you can assign different point values to the same Item across multiple Activities without modifying the original Item configuration.

When enabled, authors can set custom point values for each Question in an Activity. These values override the points defined in the Item's validation settings for that Activity only. This allows you to reuse the same Item while applying different scoring requirements in different Activity contexts.

For more information, see the Overriding Question and Item Points for an Activity article.
