First time getting "Data Issue" hold. can't figure out what's wrong

Hi everyone,

This is the first time I'm getting this "Data Issue" hold notice, and it's affecting quite a few of my recent uploads at once, so I'm trying to understand the actual pattern before I resubmit everything blind.

One example with this photo in Tangier Morocco. (screenshots attached).

- Keywording language: all keywords are in English, matching the selected submission language — so I don't think this is the issue.
- Keywording order: my keywords are already ordered by relevance — not alphabetical.
- Title or keyword compliance: no offensive terms, no brand names, no copyright issues that I can see.

Has anyone dealt with this kind of hold before? Any tips on how to identify exactly which criteria triggered it, so I can fix the pattern across my other affected files instead of guessing one by one?

Thanks in advance!
Guillaume

It looks like it might be an editorial issue where you would have to write the description in the correct editorial form.

It might have something to do with the keywords, but I can’t imagine what. Adobe recommends using only 15 to 25 keywords, so maybe removing some of the less specific ones might help?

I’ve never seen this either. You are probably better of using AI sharing exactly how you worded your submission and the message Adobe sent you. But as I understand it, I think it could possibly be a problem with how you submitted the title using dashes and space between the first 3 words, because it ruins the title search and a buyer would never find it. And the title is critical for clients finding an image.

It would not hurt to open up the black door like ½ stop to bring out more detail.

Good luck!

I have always use this kind of dashes in my title for 5-6 years now, and that’s the first time I have this message.
But you might be right, I will try to remove this dashes
