However, I’m left with a pretty big one and not sure how to deal with it. We just onboarded a vendor using FilebackedMetadata and downloaded their XML. On v3.4.6, it works no problem, however, when we try to load that same metadata in v4.0 it fails.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Any help will be greatly appreciated.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you for your time!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">b-idp;idp-process.log;dev;nothing;
