After exporting the .xml files, ArcGIS Pro does not seem to properly read the file. I opened the .xml file in Notepad and it looks like the metadata are stored there, but the metadata viewer in Pro just shows a blank metadata template. Anyone else run into this issue?</P> Thu, 08 Feb 2024 18:24:52 GMT MollyMoore 2024-02-08T18:24:52Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/exporting-metadata-for-custom-python-toolbox/m-p/1379890#M78491 <P>I edited and saved metadata for a custom Python toolbox and all individual tools as seen here:</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="MollyMoore_0-1707416542152.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/94145i275BEFE9A0792985/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="MollyMoore_0-1707416542152.png" alt="MollyMoore_0-1707416542152.png" /></span></P><P>I want to export the .xml metadata files to a separate metadata folder to make sure the info is in a backed up location.
