Accepted file types not restricting upload

Accepted file types not restricting upload

For the field of type file it allows you to restrict the acceptable file types (any, html, image) but dataforms does not enforce this restriction when someone enters the form.  I have a file field set up where "Accepted file types" is set to "Image files." I am still able to upload PDF files.  I am using Moodle 3.0.4+ (Build: 20160609) and Dataform 3.0.4 (Build: 2015111604).

How do you restrict the types of files that users can upload?

Yes, apparently the core handling of the accepted types parameters changed at some point to the effect that it stopped working in the dataform. So it's now a dataform issue and you can open a tracker issue in the Set: Dataform tracker. smile
