    Workflow stops responding when list attachment size exceeds 200KB.

    Hi, I have a workflow running with an InfoPath web form having a file control. Every time when I upload a file over 200KB to a SharePoint list item as the attachment, the workflow stops generating new task and shows "Error occurred", though the file is uploaded successfully. Is it possible that the upload takes too much time and fails the task creation for the next step? If so, how can I configure the time limit for each step? Thank you for the help!

    Are you using SharePoint workflow to upload the attachment?  Or do you have code in your form that is uploading the attachment to the list item?

    You might want to take a look at our qRules product which has built in file attachment upload to SharePoint lists from InfoPath:

    We have not had any reports of timeout issues due to file size, 200kb is not that large so it doesn't seem like this would be a SharePoint timeout issue.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm using the workflow to read the file from the form as a byte array and put it as an item attachment. There's no code on the form side. When the attachment size goes over 200K, workflow fails to create new task, but the file is uploaded successfully. If the size is small or no attachment at all, it runs smoothly.

    There might be some default timeout settings on the SharePoint server you can adjust.
