By adding the "exstringtype" metainformation "essay|file" for this "string" question, it is specified that an open-ended answer should be entered using a text editor and additionally a file can be uploaded. This type of extended string question is currently supported in Moodle and in QTI 2.1 (OpenOlat in particular). The details of the rendering in Moodle are additionally controlled through several "exextra" metainformation tags.
