What is the problem? Please be detailed.
Hello everyone, I have been using ODK for a certain period of time, and it has been proven a great tool for us. But recently we got stuck on an error, regarding submission_attachments. Let me just go you through the whole situation.
Whenever I try to submit the form on the collect app(The form contains multiple widgets), it gets all the data on the database except the attachments, and by attachments here I mean the images. Whenever I try to upload more than 3 images it gives me an error, I can see it in the logs on the central server whereas on the ODK collect app I don't see any failure response, it shows me Form sent successfully.
And how I know that only 3 or less than 3 images are getting uploaded to the central server, I have already tested it many times, firstly I thought it would be a network issue, as we were not getting attachments with the text data, and on central when I try to download the image it shows me 404, image not found, as the blob is not present in the DB But after filling so many forms we figured out the pattern.
One more thing to notice here is that when I see the logs of the central service container, it shows me the image name that I uploaded from the ODK collect app, but when I try to search the name in the submission_attachments table I don't find record while filtering it with the name column, so I don't know from where it is fetching the name.
Also, I have made some changes on both ODK collect and ODK central according to my customization needs, like we needed geo-tagging on images that are being captured also we have created a function to parse the data from XML to JSON.
What ODK tool and version are you using? And on what device and operating system version?
Currently, I have hosted the central server on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS x86_64 GNU/Linux. The virtual machine is currently on Azure cloud. Currently, we have hosted the Central 2023.3 version.
What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?
To reproduce this error I tried uploading more than 3 images, eventually, I haven't tried this on any other server except my server.
What have you tried to fix the problem?
We have tried reducing the pixels of the images, reduced it to 100 pixels, thinking this could be an image size issue, but it wasn't Also we haven't changed anything in central's backend. I have seen a similar issue in the KOBO community, I will attach the link to the thread below, but there wasn't any solution to this on that thread

Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach them here
I have attached below the screenshot of the exact error that we got in the logs while uploading more than 3 images.
