Fail to generate DOI

[zhixingfeng]

Describe the bug I created a new workflow, but when I got the following error when I "click Generate a DOI -> click Mint DOI". The message on the top of button "Generate a DOI" says "Your Workflow is published and eligible for a DOI.". Anyway I could get aroud this to obtain a DOI? Thanks.

"There was a problem communicating with DataCite - (422) DOI 10.48546/workflowhub.workflow.1858.1: Missing child element(s). Expected is ( {http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-4}creator ). at line 71, column 0"

I have similar issue and getting the follwwing message "There was a problem communicating with DataCite - (422) DOI 10.48546/workflowhub.workflow.1857.1: Missing child element(s). Expected is ( {http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-4}creator ). at line 252, column 0"

Hi @zhixingfeng, yes, as @sarkadiu mentions, this is due to the requirement of Datacite that at least one "creator" needs to be credited. You can add a creator to your workflow entry via the actions menu, then "Manage Workflow":

I appreciate this is not very clear at the moment, and I'm working on a fix for that.

I think I have a similar issue and I do not want to create a new issue as I find this one relevant. All of the following workflows have at least one creator, however, I get the following error:

At least one creator is required. To add, go to Actions -> Manage Version.
