As Emma says, what Moodle means by grace period, and what you mean by it, are completely different things.

To get what you want, you woud need to do some custom coding. You can do this with a quiz access rule plugin. (Not sure this is the intended use of quiz access rule plugins, but I made it work for some idosyncratic OU exam timing requirements.)

The custom field system in Moodle is a generic thing that is used in several places, of which question are just one. It can also be used with courses, users, etc.

You are right that the 'select' filed type only does single-select. Adding support for multi-selelect would be nice, but that would be a feature request.

We use them at the Open University, but I don't know much about it, because other memebers of the team look after it.

A complicting factor at a big university is that Moodle is just one system, so exporting data in response to as subject access request, Moodle is just one small part of that - and the process for doing that does not use Moodle's UI. the requesst has to go to the University's data privacy office, and they get the data out of Moodle using Moodle's tools. Anyway, the way we use it, it seems to be working for us.
