Hello,
I’m running into a problem when uploading files. Not sure what is causing it or how to resolve it.
Here is the log:

Kirill,
I think this is a known bug - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/11976 , but I’m not aware of anyone trying to make the fix suggested in that issue. The work around would probably be to just delete the old file and add a new one (which does mean that the file being a replacement is not tracked in the db though.)
