Investigate a code path in which a submission title is not captured in the metadata blob but user were able to proceed through the workflow anyways.

[cameronblandford]

I'm guessing there's not any more information about how this happened?

[htpvu]

The only other tidbit of information we have is that the title was found as a file description.

We dont have any other information on how this happen. we just happened to find a failing deposit in the system.

[cameronblandford]

Got it. Will look into this and do what I can to replicate. After an hour or two poking around, I'll try to provide a better estimate.

[emetsger]

@cameronblandford I'm the one who observed the behavior, so if there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

The submission failed because the title field wasn't present in the common metadata blob (that is, the field was completely missing, it wasn't present with a null value).

[Rytiggy]

@emetsger was there any other repositories attached to the submission? Do you have the failed submission object available?

[emetsger]

@Rytiggy this is the corrected object (after adding title into the metadata). A copy of the incorrect object isn't available.

Before this object was corrected, the aggregatedDepositStatus was submitted, and title was missing from the metadata blob. The URI of the Submission is https://pass.jhu.edu/fcrepo/rest/submissions/2a/2e/3b/2b/2a2e3b2b-1603-43f9-a2d2-092f62754163

I corrected the object by adding in title, and then re-submitting the Submission to deposit services. The deposit succeeded, and the aggregatedDepositStatus was flipped to accepted.
