Summary20041: Email templates - There is no File Size Check for Email Attachments.
Description

Add file size limit for email attachments. Users can upload files that exceed PHP and server limits (upload_max_filesize, post_max_size), leading to failed uploads, Email sending errors without clear error messages.

  • Create a simple survey
  • Add a few participants
  • Go to email templates (side menu) and add a large file as attachement (~11MB)
  • Activcate survey and try to send email invitation. An error message appears.

Expected result

  • The system should check the file size before uploading.
  • If the file exceeds the configured limit, an error message should be displayed, preventing the upload.
  • The error message should clearly state the maximum allowed file size based on the server configuration. (5MB)
