Weird, I did a quick test. And I don’t have any issue. Do you get an error message in the logs?

Thanks

Well, i’m going explain you:

i have reviwed the bonita documentation, and i have seen that there are a config file named forms-config.properties. Into this file we can to change the limite value of size of a file, so i have changed the value from 15 to 30 (values in MB), but my suprise, is that it doesn’t working , is that when i’m trying to attach a file that it has 20 MB, it is shows me an error message like this:

_Failed to submit the form._

please i need to solve this issue as sonn as possible.

many thanks.
