Show correct answer instead of accepted answer for formula questions with tolerance with new quizzes

How can I display the correct answer (not the accepted answer) for formula questions with tolerance in New Quizzes?

Scenario:

• Correct answer from formula: 0.9001
• Tolerance: +/- 0.1 (forgives rounding errors across 8 calculation steps)
• Accepted answer from student: 1.0 (accepted as correct due to tolerance)

Problem:

• When reviewing, Canvas shows the accepted answer (1.0) instead of the correct answer (0.9001)
• Student gets confused because they can now calculate 0.9001 correctly, but Canvas displays their rounded answer

Request:

Is there a setting to show the correct answer (0.9001) instead of the accepted answer (1.0) with the tolerance? This would help students learn the precise value rather than being confused by their rounded response.
