Hello,

Since many of the tools for exporting and importing metadata are not available in ArcGIS Pro, what is the recommended way of working with metadata in geoprocessing work flows?

In Python 2.7 and ArcGIS for Desktop it is possible to import/export metadata using geoprocessing tools. I have been using this in my scripts that I need to migrate to Python 3.4

Specific example is the function 'meta' here: https://github.com/NERC-CEH/arcapi/blob/master/arcapi.py#L913

Kind regards,

Filip.

Keep both python 2.7 and 3.4 they can co-exist since Pro uses a different install directory and you can use both ArcMap and Pro at the same time.  If that is inconvenient, or a tool isn't available in Pro, you will just have to wait until full migration is complete
