Hi Maryam,

This issue will be solved in the upcoming DSpace 8.0 release. As of 8.0, 
DSpace no longer sets the "dc.date.available" field by default (existing 
values in this field will still remain).  The reason this has been removed 
is that the "dc.date.available" no longer accurately represented the 
correct date when an embargo existed, as Embargoes 
<https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Embargo> are now stored on the 
Item's resource policy (and not in metadata).

See the "Breaking Changes" 
<https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-BreakingChanges>
 
section of the 8.0 Release Notes for more details.

This change will not be backported to 7.x as it's considered a "breaking 
change" (changes the default submission behavior).   But, you could 
manually backport it yourself by making the code changes 
in https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/9103 to your 7.x instance.
