How to script AGOL Metadata Editor 'save' function to enable file geodatabase download option in AGOL Open Data?

Hello -

I use this Python script to upload XML, ArcGIS formatted metadata to items in AGOL. The items are registered feature layers of ArcGIS Server map services.

The XMLs have been edited to enable a zipped file geodatabase download in our AGOL Open Data Site. The geodatabase download only becomes available in Open Data after I run the script and then manually open the AGOL metadata editor for that item and click the 'save' button.

I haven't found a way to script the Metadata Editor 'save' function with the ArcGIS API for Python. Anybody know how?

Thanks!

Stacey
