Additional Information
The observed behavior is expected and documented. This change is made to resolve significant performance and threading issues related to the automatic updates of metadata content, particularly when enterprise databases are being used. As a result, the item’s detailed properties are no longer updated in the metadata automatically when viewing the metadata. A Synchronize button on the ribbon is used to update the properties stored in the metadata (and create metadata if it does not already exist) when an update is needed. Refer to the documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/metadata/update-item-properties-in-metadata.htm. The 'View and edit metadata' documentation is updated accordingly to address this change: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/metadata/view-and-edit-metadata.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_4B54C1395C8047DB952C4EE0EE8687A5. It says, 'If metadata already exists for the item, it is displayed as-is in the details panel. Its content is not updated automatically for performance reasons. To view the most current information, synchronize the item's metadata.' Documentation for manually updating properties in an item's metadata is available here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/metadata/update-item-properties-in-metadata.htm.Steps to Reproduce
