    Description

      A new form element to allow selection of file types and type groups is desirable for the Assignment (MDL-39913), Workshop (MDL-50794), and Forum activities. This feature adds that functionality, along with a new admin setting type for the same effect as they are closely related functionality-wise. It gives you a ;-delimited list of types that you can simply explode and feed to the 'accepted_types' option of the filemanager element.
