How to retrieve the size of a file being uploaded using a!fileUploadField() sail

How to retrieve the size of a file being uploaded using a!fileUploadField() sail component on sail form and restricts the user to upload a file larger than a certain limit.

Is it correct that document(ri!file, "size") will work only when form is being submitted as document being uploaded is being saved on Appian DMS and not before if sail form is not being submitted

Attached a sail form snippet, need to capture the size being circle on form

Thanks !

Yes, this will generate an error message right after the user tries to upload the document without the need for submitting the form (see attached C:\\Users\\eduardo.fuentes\\Desktop\\max_file_size_exceeded.swf video where I set the maximum to 5MB).

This is a global setting that applies to other forms. That's the only available option that doesn't require you to submit the form.
