If the Deadline Cloud ROP does not have an input ROP, then submission of a job will first hash and upload all the files for the job, then attempt to submit the job, then get a confusing error message related to missing steps.
What was the solution? (How)
The error is caused by missing an input ROP, but the the message is confusing. Added verification that there is an input ROP at the start of the submission.
