[ckan-dev] Server error with ckanext-usmetadata extension

[Pandya, Pradip]

Hi,
We have installed the usmetadata extension from https://github.com/GSA/USMetadata and followed the installation instructions on a CKAN 2.2 instance. The new fields in the common core metadata from this extension are displayed fine after the Add Datasets is selected.  But we are getting an internal server error 500 when trying to add a dataset. All other functions appear to be working fine except adding the dataset.  The CKAN2.2, apache2 and postgresql running on the same server.
Here is the ckan_default.error.log  displaying the error 'Error - <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: as below after attempting to add the dataset:

There is no issue in adding a dataset if we revert back to the original CKAN metadata schema after removing the 'usmetadata' from the "ckan.plugins" in the .ini  file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pradip
