Q:

Nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size not working

I want to increase size of post body of each request in Ingress.  So I add the
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 8m

in yaml file ingress(in view/edit yaml file of rancher) but it doesn’t work.  When I get the describe of ingress with kubectl I dont see the added annotation but i see the new added mapping. 
Hereis the configs:
YAML file:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |-
      set $test_host "testdms.test.com"
      if ($host == $test_host) {
        return 301 $scheme://$test_host/webui/;
      }
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 8m
  creationTimestamp: 2018-09-11T12:19:02Z
  generation: 116

          serviceName: ingress-e5a45b0dc688c653b79d4b5942ebbe7c
          servicePort: 80
        path: /test
status:
  loadBalancer:
    ingress:
    - {}

    - ip: 198.100.101.173
    - ip: 198.100.101.61

describe result:

if ($host == $test_host) {
  return 301 $scheme://$test_host/webui/;
}

A:

Amendment of the ingress objects in K8s sometimes misbehave, so it's recommended to re-create rather than edit.  
If it still didn't work, try to set this value globally for all ingress rules using a configmap
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: nginx
      namespace: ingress-nginx
      labels:
        app: ingress-nginx
    data:
      proxy-body-size: "8m"
