Items API Initialization

Controls whether Question score overrides are applied when processing an Activity or Item request.

You would want to use this so that you can assign Activity-specific point values to Questions without modifying the original Item validation settings.

When set to true:

• Allows Item-level score_overrides to be applied to Questions.
• Each Item can specify a score_overrides array mapping Question references to numeric points.
• These points are applied as validation_overrides.valid_response.score on matching Questions.

When set to false or not set:

• Points overrides are not applied, even if Items contain score_overrides data.
• Questions retain their original validation points.

Examples

var initializationOptions = {
    "config": {
        "score_overrides_enabled": true
    },
    "items": [
        {
            "reference": "item-1",
            "score_overrides": {           // <-- Mapping of custom points per question
                "question-ref-1": 10,
                "question-ref-2": 5
            }
        }
    ]
};
