Esri Metadata Editor ISO 19115-3 Security Constraints: Classification Mapping

[JSPBNE]

Hi,

we are using the new Esri Metadata Editor to maintain metadata records for our spatial datasets using the ISO 19115-3 style.

When we create a Security Constraint the using the editor the classification can be selected using the drop down list - but after saving, if we export or view the XML (or HTML) the Classification is not populated. It is listed as missing.

This is the same behaviour across the Resource Constraints section and the Metadata Constraints sections.

Is the correct behaviour or user error?. My understanding is the drop down should map to the ISO 19115-3 MD_ClassificationCode codelist. 

Other codelist mappings are functional.

We are using ArcGIS Enterprise v11.3

---fragments from resulting ISO 19115-3 Style XML.

Hey @JSPBNE . I noticed one of the screenshots you shared is for the new editor, and mentioned that you are using ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. Could you please confirm? I believe the new editor was introduced in beta at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2.

I was able to reproduce this bug when testing the classic editor at 11.1. The issue seems to have been resolved for the new editor at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4.

Hey @Laura_B . Thanks for responding! Yes - you are right. My original info was not entirely correct :(. We are currently running ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 and the record was created using the new editor. We will re-test when upgraded to 11.4 or higher. Thanks again!

Thanks for confirming, @JSPBNE. Let us know if you run into issues with this after the upgrade.
