Hi Kwan, I'd recommend looking at the DSpace logs to see if any information appears to provide you hints. It's possible for an error to appear in the logs which is *not* returned in the REST API response.
At a basic level though, it might be that you need to specify a "language" field for each metadata value, as this section of the docs implies it might be needed for a "MetadataEntry Object": https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC6x/REST+API#RESTAPI-MetadataEntryO I also should stress that the DSpace 7 REST API has much better support & more consistent behavior (as it drives the new User Interface). The older DSpace 6 REST API could be very buggy and hard to work with.
