Describe the issue or problem
I upgrade OJS to 3.4.0-9 after update admin dashboard is not opening and current submissions and archive are not loading and headings are also not loading properly. Screenshot and error logs are below.
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: PKP\submission\Genre::setRequired(): Argument #1 ($required) must be of type bool, null given, called in /home/afxvwsmy/public_html/lib/pkp/classes/submission/GenreDAO.php on line 251 and defined in /home/afxvwsmy/public_html/lib/pkp/classes/submission/Genre.php:213
