Now these errors are resolved but a new error starts that shows “SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (frontier\_ojs718.submission\_files, CONSTRAINT submission\_files\_source\_submission\_file\_id\_foreign FOREIGN KEY (source\_submission\_file\_id) REFERENCES submission\_files (submission\_file\_) (SQL: insert into submission\_files (created\_at, file\_id, file\_stage, genre\_id, source\_submission\_file\_id, submission\_id, updated\_at, uploader\_user\_id) values (2024-07-08 07:41:26, 5, 6, 1, 3041, 3, 2024-07-08 07:41:26, 1))” Now please guide me on how can I fix this issue? ---
