Hi @comitecinco,

You likely have some bad data in your publication_settings table (and possibly also your journal_settings table) for that journal. Check:

SELECT ps.* FROM publication_settings ps JOIN submissions s ON (ps.publication_id = s.current_publication_id) WHERE ps.setting_name='licenseUrl' AND s.submission_id=123;

…replacing the 123 with the submission ID that you’re having trouble with.
