I am a user of Dataverse who is trying to publish a dataset for a conference submission.
I am facing an issue here. Because my dataset already exceeds this 1,000-file threshold, the system is preventing me from making any modifications—even just replacing one existing file—because it re-validates the total file count for the new version.
If there is a preferred method for managing large datasets with over 1,000 files without hitting this validation ceiling, please let me know.
Best,
Ziyu
