Error uploading attachments to a Sharepoint online list

Hi, 

Does anyone have an issue (or solution) to an error message we receive when attaching files to a list? This tends to happen intermittently and happens more often with large files or multiple attachments. It either saves the list item without attachments or fails to save with the error message 'Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user....)

I have a SP Designer workflow running on the list but i've added a pause before it starts. I also have a calculated column on the list.

    Are you exceeding the limit "The maximum size for files attached to list items is 250 MB"?

      Hi Paul,

      No, i've just tried this with a file size of 18Mb and still get the problem. I've now had reports this is happening on another list too.

        Tom Hamilton Does it keep happening with the same (types of) files? Or will a file that fails to upload one time upload fine if you try again?
