I see how to do that using the Custom Field with field type=file. When I select this option, the user is limited 2MB. There is even help text that explains: maximum upload file size : 2M * Is this maximum upload file size configurable? Is this set somewhere else in Joomla or in Hikashop? The files I need to collect will frequently be larger than this and up to 5MB. Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
