Description
Summary
LE-utils has a field called convertible_formats that says other format types there are that can be automatically converted to the correct format. However, this field isn't getting factored into the generateconstantsfiles script, which means we can't leverage this ability.
Real-life consequences (anything community should be aware of, for instance how it affects end users)
Users will need to know to manually convert files before uploading to Studio instead of having the option to upload directly

Research direction
Start by comparing the convertible_formats field in presetlookup.json with the generateconstantsfiles script and its generated constants. Trace how format conversion options are exposed during upload, then update the script so this field is included and verify that convertible formats can be used instead of requiring manual conversion.
