Status quo

The API can process list/array structures for further details on the data:

...
    "deadlines": []
...

However, there could be invalid data inside these arrays, such as

...
    "deadlines": [""]
...

These messages lead to an 500 error.

Enhancement

If an entry on any array can not be processed, the API user should be informed properly using a valid return message. The entry should not be processed partially (e.g. by ignoring the invalid entries and only processing valid ones).
