I tested this in development and it seems to work fine. I made a request to get rid of the identifier.uri and it was deleted, then I made a request to insert it and it was able to match the item with the right handle. I think it determines the handle from the identifier.uri in the file and then adds the metadata that is requested in the command line based on what's in the file. I quickly checked the code and that seems to be the way it works. Could someone confirm that. Many thanks! Jose
