04/05/2024, 10:56 AMWhen you have file type checking within Umbraco Forms and you upload an incorrect file type, it shows the message "The file type (" + fileName.Substring(startIndex, fileName.Length - startIndex) + ") you tried to upload is not allowed.".
This seems to be hardcoded and it does not seem that we can translate this, is this correct?
