Users can set `@metadata` fields in user meta if the souce field isn't set in the object #743
Normally @metadata fields in user metadata are populated from the object contents. However, if the object doesn't contain the field in question, the user can submit arbitrary values when saving an object. This could be very confusing for @metadata fields where the value is constrained, like a list length or range, etc.
Change the behavior so the user metadata for an @metadata field is either populated from the object data or not at all. Note that this is a backwards incompatible change and it's not clear what impact this would have on current processes. I suspect minimal but I don't have any evidence along those lines.
