Currently, file uploads require a certain enctype be set on the <form> element, but if this encryption type is not set, then when the form is submitted any file uploads will not be sent to the form backend service but rather their "path" (a sanitized string) will be sent instead. This could be useful for situations where you want to require the user to upload files but you don't want to deal with processing the files in the backend (or you actually don't need the files and simply want users to upload them).
