Hi @Aleksandr_Sidenko ,
You’re probably encountering this issue:
opened 02:59AM - 07 Feb 26 UTC
closed 03:03AM - 07 Feb 26 UTC
### Valid Title
- [x] I have updated the title to accurately reflect the bug de… scription
### Description
On some servers, authors cannot access the workflow after completing the submission process. They see a message on the workflow page: "You don't currently have access to that stage of the workflow."
See:
- https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/ojs-3-5-0-1-you-dont-currently-have-access-to-that-stage-of-the-workflow/97479
- https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/author-unable-to-add-revised-version-to-original-submission-after-revisions-requested/97311
This is similar to https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/issues/10034 and can be emulated following the steps below.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Emulate the problematic environment:
```diff
diff --git a/classes/core/PKPApplication.php b/classes/core/PKPApplication.php
index 7e92aad6ad..7decb35c8b 100644
--- a/classes/core/PKPApplication.php
+++ b/classes/core/PKPApplication.php
@@ -275,6 +275,9 @@ abstract class PKPApplication implements iPKPApplicationInfoProvider
error_log($count++ . ": Database query\n{$query->sql}\n" . json_encode($query->bindings));
});
}
+\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema::getConnection()->getPdo()->setAttribute(\PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES,true);
+\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema::getConnection()->getPdo()->setAttribute(\PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES,true);
+
}
/**
```
2. Log into a submission as author
3. In the submission workflow, see the message: "You don't currently have access to that stage of the workflow."
### Expected Result
The author should be able to view the submission workflow for their submissions.
### Actual Result
The author sees only the message: "You don't currently have access to that stage of the workflow."
### Environment Details
It's not clear what server configuration is responsible; however, the configuration can be emulated per the instructions above.
### Application Version
OJS 3.5.0-x
### Logs
_No response_
### Additional Information
The problem server appears to be using the mysqlnd driver.
There is patch attached; it’ll be included in OJS/OMP/OPS 3.5.0-4.
