dc:creator saved as bag - should be seq

[MetadataDeluxe]

Description When a dc:creator property is created or edited, it is saved as a bag array, but according to the XMP spec, it should be saved as a seq array.

Steps to reproduce

1. use the View Editor to create a new field
2. set the XMP Prefix to "dc"
3. set the XMP Namespace to "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
4. set the XMP Property to "creator"
5. Save
6. enter a value in the new field.
7. Save

8. view raw XMP:

    <dc:creator>
       <rdf:Bag>
          <rdf:li>CREATOR</rdf:li>
       </rdf:Bag>
    </dc:creator>

Workarounds None

Expected behavior

     <dc:creator>
        <rdf:Seq>
           <rdf:li>CREATOR</rdf:li>
        </rdf:Seq>
     </dc:creator>

I've reviewed your JSON, and I noticed that you did not specify that Creator needed to be a seq.

Open the View Editor, click the pencil, and switch to the Advanced tab. Change the Array Type to Seq. The default is Bag.

The Custom Metadata Panel does not automagically know details of each metadata property. Please always check the Options and Advanced tabs to ensure that your View is compliant with your schema.

That was my mistake, I missed the array type option. After changing that to Seq, dc:creator is working properly.

Super! Glad it works!
