Import metadata template to raster dataset in Pro using python?

Anonymous User — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 20:36:49 GMT

I have 328 raster datasets in my GDB I will be publishing to Portal as an image service. I have a metadata template I want to import for each of these rasters. Is there a way to do this with python? I found that ArcMap had an ImportMetadata_conversion tool that could've worked (I think?) but Pro does not have it. Just updated to Pro 2.4. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply Dan. Do you know of a way to fill in the metadata (item details) when publishing instead? Maybe there's hope going that direction.

Sorry Bryan, perhaps with the 'arcgis' module in the api reference.

I looked through the documentation with my co-worker who is far more advanced in python and ArcGIS API for Python than me and the documentation indicated there is a 'metadata' property for the Map Image Layer Manager (arcgis.mapping.MapImageLayerManager.metadata), but we couldn't find any documentation for it.
