Hello,

Anyone can tell how to change upload a file as an option.

Currently, every time I create an item I have to upload a file. How could I change the setting?

I have looked into submission-form.xml and item-submission.xml, but didn't figure out how to make the change.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Tianyi

Hi Tianyi,

There's a configuration for this in the backend's dspace.cfg:

If you set that to "false" then file uploads should be optional. You can set it to false either in your local.cfg or in dspace.cfg.

Thank you, Tim. I have made the change:

webui.submit.upload.required = false
