Custom URL Functionality for LTI 1.1

LTI 1.1 tools may require a Custom URL to be defined on the Assignment Admin screen, which pertains to a setting on the Add/Edit Learning Tool screen for LTI 1.1:

"This tool can't be activated on its own. A custom URL in the above domain must be provided for each tool that uses this shared key & secret."

"This tool can't be activated on its own" setting

If the tool is configured with this setting set to "True" (checkbox is selected), then when adding an assignment associated with that tool, a "Custom URL" field appears at the top of the Step 2 section. It is a required text box field with a maximum length of 512 characters.

If the LTI 1.1 "This tool can't be activated on its own" setting is set to "False" (checkbox is not selected), or when editing the Learning Tool assignment, this field no longer displays.
