We are developing a simple plugin for a client with KT comercial 3.7

When retrieving the metadata with the sample code below:
$ktapi = new KTAPI();
$session = $ktapi->start_system_session();
$documentK = $ktapi->get_document_by_id($document->iId);
$metadata = $documentK->get_metadata();

I have access to all metadata of document except Conditional metada, after if I execute a simple update to metadata with no changes:
$documentK->update_metadata($metadata);

All the Conditional metadata are lost.

How can we resolve this issue ? We must have access to all metadata and have the possibility to change some info, save and don´t lost any metadata.

Regards,
Vitor Simoes

I looked into this again and uncovered a couple of bugs very quickly! However, they're unrelated. The problem for this issue, is that when the metadata is retrieved it doesn't include the conditional metadata, in the code it says - "/* this is not implemented...*/". But when it updates the metadata it does all fields, since the conditional fieldset is empty it writes null values in.

So there are 3 issues here:

1. get_metadata does not return the conditional metadata.

2. update_metadata updates all fields / fieldsets and doesn't skip the ones that aren't included.

3. update_metadata writes "n/a" in for null values if they were empty in the get_metadata query.

All 3 are bugs which will need to be logged and pulled into our sprints.
