Yup, your input-forms.xml should be set up so that the relevant fields are marked with: <visibility>workflow</visibility> This should be in the documentation under how to configure your input-forms.xml file. > We want to do this as we have some metadata elements that will > confuse/frustrate submitters, but that we want our metadata staff to > complete during workflow.

Ah - I don't recall if this is in 1.3.2, but if not, you will find a patch on SF (browse closed patches for some sensible wording like "visibility") which you will be able to apply.
