This issue is caused by repeatable DOI metadata fields not always being an array in the REST API, in this case the dates field. This issue comes up now as Fabrica is actually using these fields in the DOI form, using a fragmentArray. This is the error we can see in the console.

The short-term fix is to always serialize these fields into an array in the DOI serializer in the API. The long-term fix (faster, but needs updating all DOI records and reindexing) is to make sure these fields are always stored in the database (where we use a JSON field) as an array.
