Documented twice? Docstring in the class too. Not sure if that's even considered.

This also checks the length of our enum values, which is a bit useless?

Missing changelog.

            payload["required"] = self.required

+        if self.file_types:
+            payload["file_types"] = [str(f) for f in self.file_types]


str(FileType) won't serialize correctly, since it subclasses Enum. Either make it subclass StrEnum, or explicitly serialize with .value when the item is a FileType.

make it a string enum

        if self.max_length is not None:
            as_dict["max_length"] = self.max_length

+            as_dict["file_types"] = [str(f) for f in self.file_types]

+        for f in data.get("file_types", []):
+            (
+                self.file_types.append(f)
+                if f not in FileType.__members__
+                else try_enum(FileType, f)
+            )


Not sure the logic here matches what you were planning, unless I missed something. Currently, when f is a known FileType member, it goes into the else branch and calls try_enum(FileType, f), but the result is never appended anywhere, so it's just discarded. Only unknown values are in self.file_types.

    id: Optional[:class:`int`]
        The file upload field's ID.

List[X, Y] is not valid, because it only takes one type parameter.

can we potentially add a check if the provided file type string starts with .?

Was just typing that, you were faster
=)
Currently garbage like "hello" up to 16 characters passes the validation, even though the docs say "dot-prefixed extensions".
