hello everyone,

I tried to modify metadata and import to Dspace-CRIS, but it shows this error; anyone, please help?

./dspace metadata-import --file /build/metadata.csv --email cc504330-c9e7-4914-8159-9401ddc15c10 --validate-only

Well, you have the string "ROR-ID" in a field that expects a number.
Maybe your CSV has a column header row and the tool isn't expecting one?

The csv file has lots of blank rows. Probably why your other email is hitting an invalid UUID error message. Also, try deleting columns and rows you don't need from the csv to make it easier to reason about.

Double-check your process for creating the file too since it might have invalid characters in it.
