Currently when
write_tags
is used,form_to_metadata
is called within it which means any "hidden" values such asdata-origin
,identifier
,price
,rights
,issue_id
,series_id
,is_version_of
andlast_mark
are erased.Some of these values are/may be of use to a tag plugin. (Saving the
issue_is
andseries_id
in ACBF for example.)I'm not sure if doing it in the
form_to_metadata
will cause problems anywhere else? The other option I considered was to pull the values out in thewrite_tags
method and then place them back afterform_to_metadata
.
