What is the Version field?
When you create a release on InterSpace, the first step of the form includes an optional Version field. This is for describing a specific edition of a track or release, such as "Acoustic Version", "Radio Edit", or "Live". It is not required for a standard original recording.
What causes the "Version invalid" error?
The Version field rejects input in a few specific situations:
- You typed something into the field that does not match the accepted format. The field expects plain descriptive text only (for example: "Acoustic", "Radio Edit", "Extended Mix"). It does not accept special characters, URLs, or very long strings.
- You left a space or invisible character in the field. If you pasted text and it left a hidden character, the validator sees the field as non-empty but invalid.
- The field was auto-filled by your browser with something unexpected (a saved form value from another site).
How to fix it
- If your release is an original recording with no special edition, leave the Version field completely blank. Do not type "Original", "Standard", or anything else. Leaving it empty is correct for a first-time release.
- Click inside the Version field and clear it entirely, then click outside the field before trying to proceed. This removes any hidden characters.
- If you need a version label, use plain text only: "Acoustic Version", "Live Version", "Radio Edit", "Extended Mix", "Instrumental". Avoid punctuation beyond a space between words.
- If the error persists after clearing the field, try a different browser or clear your browser cache. Browser auto-fill occasionally re-inserts an invalid value.
Accepted version label examples
- Acoustic Version
- Radio Edit
- Extended Mix
- Instrumental
- Live Version
- Remix (used with the remixer's name in the Track Title field, not here)
Still seeing the error?
If you have cleared the Version field, tried a different browser, and the error still appears when you move to the next step, open a support ticket with a screenshot of the error message. The team can check whether there is a temporary platform issue affecting your account.
