We show the size of the files in the UI when submitting a bug, the user has to specifically attach them. I dont think we need extra warning here.

Sorry, we do need the warning if there's going to be issues with file size uploaded to bugzilla.

bug 1155420 shows that even though the size is placed in the attachments, without a warning the end user would expect the file to be uploaded to bugzilla.

As far as I know, there is a parameter in Bugzilla called 'maxattachmentsize' (default = 1000 Kb) that controls the maximum allowable attachment size. Attachments larger than either the 'max_allowed_packet' or 'maxattachmentsize' value will not be accepted by Bugzilla.

Hi Jacqueline,
What is your opinion? Thank you!

For this case we just need a dialogue message that informs the user the attachment is too big. We can use:

Title: Attachment is too large
Body: The selected file exceeds the <limit amount> size limit and cannot be attached. 
Button: Ok

Let me know if this works, thanks!
