Enter Metadata it can't be saved and continued (OJS 3.3)

I have a problem in OJS 3.3.
When people want to submit articles in step 3. Enter Metadata, it cannot be saved and continued. It always crashes while loading. However, the actual data entered in the form is saved. But can’t go to step 4. Confirm until delivery is complete.
and I’ve read the same problem and when I check on jquery.selectBox.min.js there is a difference with the example for the solution. this is the view for jquery.selectBox.min.js

if(jQuery)(function($){$.extend($.fn,{selectBox:function(method,data){var typeTimer,typeSearch=’’,isMac=navigator.platform.match(/mac/i);var init=function(select,data){var options;if(navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad|iPhone|Android|IEMobile|BlackBerry/i))return false;if(select.tagName.toLowerCase()!==‘select’)return false;select=$(select);if(select.data(‘selectBox-control’))return false;var control=$(’’),inline=select.attr(‘multiple’)||parseInt(select.attr(‘size’))>1;var settings=data||{};control.width(select.outerWidth()).addClass(select.attr(‘class’)).attr(‘title’,select.attr(‘title’)||’’).attr(‘tabindex’,parseInt(select.attr(‘tabindex’))).css(‘display’,‘inline-block’).bind(‘focus.selectBox’,function(){if(this!==document.activeElement&&document.body!==document.activeElement)$(document.activeElement).blur();if(control.hasClass(‘selectBox-active’))return;control.addClass(‘selectBox-active’);select.trigger(‘focus’)}).bind(‘blur.selectBox’,function(){if(!control.hasClass(‘selectBox-active’))return;control.removeClass(‘selectBox-active’);select.trigger(‘blur’)});if(!$(window).data(‘selectBox-bindings’)){$(window).data(‘selectBox-bindings’,true).bind(‘scroll.selectBox’,hideMenus).bind(‘resize.selectBox’,hideMenus)}if(select.attr(‘disabled’))control.addClass(‘selectBox-disabled’);select.bind(‘click.selectBox’,function(event){control.focus();event.preventDefault()});if(inline){options=getOptions(select,‘inline’);control.append(options).data(‘selectBox-options’,options).addClass(‘selectBox-inline selectBox-menuShowing’).bind(‘keydown.selectBox’,function(event){handleKeyDown(select,event)}).bind(‘keypress.selectBox’,function(event){handleKeyPress(select,event)}).bind(‘mousedown.selectBox’,function(event){if($(event.target).is(‘A.selectBox-inline’))event.preventDefault();if(!control.hasClass(‘selectBox-focus’))control.focus()}).insertAfter(select);if(!select[0].style.height){var size=select.attr(‘size’)?parseInt(select.attr(‘size’)):5;var tmp=control.clone().removeAttr(‘id’).css({position:‘absolute’,top:’-9999em’}).show().appendTo(‘body’);tmp.find(’.selectBox-options’).html(’

  • Hi @rahayu,

    Is there any relevant input in your PHP error logs? Usually, this can help to identify relevant issues. And, what specific version are you using (e.g. 3.3.0-7).
