CAT Features
Problem Description
Problem 1: A user tries to upload a file and gets error “The file ‘<filename>’ could not be uploaded because it is larger than the maximum allowed file size of 0 MB.” although the maximum allowed file size is 10 MB or larger.
Cause: the file extension is amongst the restricted extensions for Activities (e.g. batch files or executable files)
Solution: give the file extension a larger upload limit.
Problem 2:A user needs to upload a file which is larger than the maximum allowed file size (default: 10 MB).
Solution: give the wildcard file extension a larger upload limit
