you wouldn't by any chance be able to get a hold of the server log when this happens? Really difficult to tell from the frontend message only.

the reason for the error is

...

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: bad_dublin_core schema=cris.submission.definition. Metadata field does not exist!

...

It looks like you are running DSpace-CRIS but don't have the CRIS-related metadata schema installed.

Hello, I found the error too, Will you have CRIS-related metadata schema and instructions to perform this configuration? I would appreciate your help

Never worked with DSpace-CRIS but you schould be able to download the missing definitions from the GitHub Repo

I think cris-types is the one missing to overcome that message but you might also need the others.
