Magento 2.3 upload_max_filesize max at 8M for import feature

Question

I adjusted upload_max_filesize in magento 2.3 and i can change the value to be anything between 2M and 8M.

If i put anything else like 85M, 9M, 50M, etc the Admin bar > System > Data Transfer > Import prompt says

Make sure your file isn't more than 8M.

It won't let me upload a file beyond that size even if it's set in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini or /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini after restarting apache2 service.

Is this a bug in 2.3? How do i get around this for data imports?

Answer 1

Must update upload_max_filesize AND post_max_size to be >= target upload size.
