What is uninitialized workflow_state value for new_quizzes.quizzes in Canvas Data?

On the new_quizzes.quizzes table, all of my institution's records have either "unpublished" or "uninitialized" values in the workflow_state column. The documentation for this type lists "published" as a possible value. It seems like all of my institution's published New Quizzes have the "uninitialized" value. What does this value mean?

EDIT: After spot checks, I have determined that some published New Quizzes also have the "unpublished" value in new_quizzes.quizzes.workflow_state. Why is this? What does this field mean?

Analytics API / Metrics calculation logic
Hello, We are currently using the Analytics API provided in the Instructure Developer Documentation Portal to retrieve certain metrics-related data.
