      At present the assignment file submission plugin gathers information that it uses procedurally to configure itself for submission:

      • Maximum number of files
      • Accepted File Types
      • Maximum file size

      This information is only displayed on the editsubmission page, and not on the view page. Currently this only displays the files that have been added to the submission (if they have).

      As a result we find that staff are frequently reproducing this information for students in the summary to ensure that they have this information earlier.

      Instead of requiring the staff the duplicate the description effectively, it would be good if the file submission plugin's summary reproduced the configuration information in a human readable form.
