Summary of what happened:
I am running fmriprep-v23.2.1 using direct B0 field mapping for the susceptibility distortion correction. When fmriprep reaches a point with something related to the template space and field map, an exception about a “BrokenProcessPool” is encountered. Fmriprep is stuck at the point and continuously prints out the exception.
Command used (and if a helper script was used, a link to the helper script or the command generated):

Screenshots / relevant information:
I have only ran the command for one participant. Here are the fieldmap json contents:

}
The command successfully ran when the level was set to minimal. I am going to run fmriprep again with the precomputed minimal outputs as inputs to fmriprep and see if that will complete without error.
