mrt-erc metadata updates #1962

Open elopatin-uc3 opened 3 months ago

Should we consider enabling the update of object-level metadata with a null value? In other words, if a user wants remove/no longer show any value at all in a field in the latest version of an object, should that be allowed by e.g. leaving a blank entry in the mrt-erc.txt producer file?

Note: entering a control character such as 0x00 causes an issue with downloading the mrt-erc.txt file. The browser considers it to be a .dms file.

Also, attempting to update the object-level metadata for an existing object using a mrt-erc.txt that only contains the object's Local ID (vs. primary and local, or just primary) fails with a handleminter error.
