Hi Richard, Good catch. I talked with our curator about the cases that she will request a replacement. It sounds like a match we can use to replace bitstream only items. I am trying to figure out how to replace all metadata without having to name list them all using ItemUpdate. As the metadata editing goes to different people and they won't track which fields are changed especially if they are just correcting the typos.
