      Description

      To reproduce...

      • create an Assignment activity only allowing file uploads
      • add a student to the course as required
      • login as that student
      • go to the assignment upload page.
      • do not drag-and-drop a file, do not select a file. Simply click 'Save changes'. The submission is accepted

      The student is now marked as having submitted a file without actually having submitted a file.
