Hi Claudia, Robert, Thank you for the prompt answer! This solves the problem.
It seems that, commenting out the first step in item-submission.xml leaves multipleFiles set to false. I enabled multiple file submission by including the SkipInitialQuestionsStep as step 1, and leaving the default values there as they are.
