The attachment size can be changed via properties.

ServiceNow attachment properties, found under System Properties > Security, control file upload limits, allowed file types, and security settings across the platform. Key properties include com.snc.attachment.max_size (max size in MB), glide.attachment.extensions (comma-separated allowed extensions), and glide.attachment.role for access control

Hi @shabbir5 

As per this Servicenow KB Article ,

Inbound content size depends on glide.rest.max_content_length property

   which is defaulted at 10MB, min is 1MB, max is 25MB

com.glide.attachment.max_size" sets the maximum size of an attachment in an Outbound API request ( ref:https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0747638)

For attachment, check these links

-> com.glide.attachment.max_size -> tells max file size you can attach in MB

How to change the maximum attachment size for records 

Configure attachment system properties 

For outbound and inbound check this

-> as such no hard-coded maximum body size for outbound REST/SOAP requests

Controlling maximum request size -> for inbound
