Hello all,
I am updating some metadata for my organization and there are a lot of files with the same attributes for each year. I want to create a metadata template with all field definition and apply that to each subsequent year, so I do not need to write it out each time. However, when I save the template in ArcGIS Pro Catalog --> Metadata --> Save As --> Metadata Template, the template removes the FID and SHAPE attributes. This creates a shift on attribute definitions when I go to import the template on the next years file.
There are some pictures below.
