Sounds like you definitely have something in your metadatavalue table. Try doing a select of all records in the table and see if you have one where metadata_field_id = 5 (ours is contributor.illustrator).

There is the option to delete a field. For some reason it isn't working. I've also tested it on a clean installation. Any advice? The error I get: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: update or delete on table "metadatafieldregistry" violates foreign key constraint "metadatavalue_metadata_field_id_fkey" on table "metadatavalue" Detail: Key (metadata_field_id)=(5) is still referenced from table "metadatavalue". What kind of change do we need to make? Many, many thanks.
