I want to display an alert when the size of an attachment exceeds 18MB.

[hkriwk1]

When you create an email from the case form, you can compose it in a new tab.
I want to implement a mechanism where, if you attach a file in that tab and its size exceeds 18MB, a popup appears.
How can these be achieved?

@hkriwk1 

you can use before insert BR on sys_attachment table and block the insert but you can't show the info message.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @hkriwk1 ,

By attachment property you can limit the attachment size. Add a Client Script tied to the email compose UI or use UI Script + onAttach/attachment events to detect newly added attachments and sum their sizes, then show a modal/alert if the total crosses get the value from system property.

For more detail

Please refer the below KB Articles
