Canvas

Engineers are currently investigating the issue.

Description

When taking a New Quiz that contains a file upload question that has a file upload limit, users are met with a box stating that the limit on how many files they can upload is actually the required number of files to submit.

Expected Behavior

The limit shouldn’t be shown unless students are attempting to upload more than what the question is limited to.

  • It shouldn’t imply that the limit is the required amount of files for the submission.

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a quiz in the course

  2. Add a file upload question to the quiz

  3. In the settings for the question, set the limit for the amount of files that can be uploaded

  4. Preview the quiz or attempt it as a student

    1. Notice the upload area indicates that the limit you set is the number of required files
