MetadataEditor

Learn more about metadata editors
Possible values are the following:

<MetadataEditor isLocked="true">PRO_CLASSIC</MetadataEditor>
Note:
Not all metadata styles are supported by both metadata editors. For example, the Item Description style is not supported by the ArcGIS metadata editor.
If you lock the MetadataEditor setting, it is also important to lock the MetadataStyle setting to a compatible value. If the MetadataStyle setting is not locked and a user chooses a style incompatible with the locked editor value, the lock is overridden and the compatible editor is used automatically. On the Options dialog box, the Metadata editor option continues to appear locked to its specified value. There is no warning that the setting is overridden.
If you lock the MetadataEditor and MetadataStyle settings with incompatible values, the editor that is compatible with the specified metadata style is used automatically, and the lock on the specified editor value is overridden. On the Options dialog box, both the Metadata style and Metadata editor options continue to appear locked to their specified values. A message indicates that the editor is not valid for the specified style.
MetadataStyle
In the user interface, on the Metadata tab on the Options dialog box, click Metadata style to access the corresponding setting.
