    Description

      There is custom fields in core for users and courses, see https://moodledev.io/docs/apis/plugintypes/customfield

      In our case we are working on a complex integration task where cohorts are being used to group students. However, more data for cohort is required to make sure students are attached to correct cohorts. 

      Having custom fields attached to cohorts would make sense in this case. 

      Roughly tasks here:

      • [x] A new admin page for creating cohorts custom fields e.g. /cohort/customfield.php[x]
      • [x] New permissions
      • [x] A new custom fields handler 
      • [x] Update cohort edit form 
      • [x] Update cohort related web services 
      • [x] Update cohort related lib functions
      • [x] Unit tests
      • [x] Behat tests
