Thank you very much for your instruction. It works!
I found the "Edit settings" which is located at the "gear icon" on the top right hand corner. I can change the number of attachments now. However, teachers have to change the number on their own now when they want to use the latest announcement. Do you know how to change it by default? Let's say change it to 10, so that teachers need not change the value each time.

Thank you for your help in advance.
Best Regards,

Kelvin Ma

You said that you changed the default number of attachments for all forums -
just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, go to Site Admin > Plugins > Activity Modukes > Forum
or yourmoodle/admin/settings.php?section=modsettingforum

That will affect all new forums.

The only way to change it retrospectively for existing forums is to edit each forum or through the database - but if you use the database, it will set the value for ALL forums, including where teachers have intentionally set it lower or higher than the default.

If you have access to the database, try this:

UPDATE `mdl_forum` SET `maxattachments` = '9';
