I want to create a script that copies data from SDE and archives it in a FileGDB but I need to add a date and information about the associated project phase to the metadata so that there is a record showing which stage in the project the data is referencing. I have a large number of feature classes that will have to be updated with the same information so I want to streamline this process. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks, </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jessie</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:48:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/updating-feature-class-metadata-in-model-builder/m-p/247243#M8497 JessicaParteno 2011-09-23T18:48:54Z Re: Updating feature class metadata in model builder or python https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/updating-feature-class-metadata-in-model-builder/m-p/247244#M8498 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Did you ever find a way to accomplish this?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 18 May 2012 18:21:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/updating-feature-class-metadata-in-model-builder/m-p/247244#M8498 deleted-user-j8mLJlqlcYvr 2012-05-18T18:21:22Z Re: Updating feature class metadata in model builder or python https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/updating-feature-class-metadata-in-model-builder/m-p/247245#M8499 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am curious about this as well, I have a copy and paste system working at the moment, but wasn't sure if there was a way to do it within the model.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:15:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/updating-feature-class-metadata-in-model-builder/m-p/247245#M8499 TashaBartholomew 2013-08-07T20:15:13Z Re: Updating feature class metadata in model builder or python https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/updating-feature-class-metadata-in-model-builder/m-p/247246#M8500 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>At 10.1, the only way I know of that might work is to export the metadata, which will be XML, use python to parse and edit the xml, and then import it back in.
