File Upload in Forms (file size error)

Vote:
 

Hello everyone! 

I'm currently working to fix a problem regarding file size when it uploads a file in Forms. As an idea we are using Optimizely Forms to create web forms in our project. So the problem appear when I try to add an upload file block into form like the one specified above.
Here is the content setup of the upload block:
I also specified the file size limit in appsettings.json file (the number below represents the size in bytes which means 500 MB).
Everything seems ok but when I press submit button I'm getting the error in the screenshot: "The upload file size should be less than -2048 MB." I mention that I uploaded an jpg file at about 21 KB.
Has anyone had this problem or something similar and have any idea how to fix it?

One thing suggested in another thread here is adding this to your Startup.cs:

            services.Configure<FormOptions>(x =>
            {
                x.MultipartBodyLengthLimit = 10737418240;
            });


Another possibility (also from that thread) is setting the max size for kestrel:

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
        {
            webBuilder.ConfigureKestrel((context, options) =>
            {
                // Handle requests up to 50 MB
                options.Limits.MaxRequestBodySize = 52428800;
            })
            .UseStartup<Startup>();
        });

Did you happend to find a solution to this issue? Im having the same problem with forms version 5.5.1.

Edit: Solution found.

In the EpiserverForms package the max file size is determined by this (decompiled) method:

 private int GetmaxSizeInByte(int fileUploadsize)
    {
      int num = (int) ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IHttpContextAccessor>().HttpContext.Features.Get<IHttpMaxRequestBodySizeFeature>().MaxRequestBodySize.Value;
      int multipartBodyLengthLimit = (int) this._formsOptions.MultipartBodyLengthLimit;
      return ((IEnumerable<int>) new int[3]
      {
        fileUploadsize,
        num,
        multipartBodyLengthLimit
      }).Min();
  }
Meaning long values are being cast to ints. If you set any of the three values to anything above int.MaxValue it will give the error. So the fileupload-field's max validation size can't be above 2bg, nor can the other values.
