Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some journals would like to ensure reviewers complete the review form that they have created rather than upload a file.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a new setting that allows a journal's editor/manager to disable file uploads for a given review form.

Describe alternatives you've considered
This could also be set at the journal level but this is less flexible.

Additional context
This request originates from UCL Open Environment

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how review forms store settings and where reviewer file uploads are handled; done means an editor or manager can disable uploads for one review form while other forms retain their existing behavior.
