Hi Karen, the reason for the two catalogs being handled differently is this: So far, there is no "ui way" in Matterhorn to change an episode catalog while the recording is waiting to come in (from the capture agent). But there is one for series, meaning you can easily navigate the the series UI and in there change the series metadata or access policies. Therefore, on ingest, we make sure that the recording is updated with what has been defined on the backend, because the recording may have been scheduled months ago.
On the other hand, metadata of a single recording might have been changed on the capture agent (such as the Galicaster), which is why the backend leaves that catalog the way we get it.
