XMP Inject not updating pdf:Keywords

[franklintempleton]

I am using the XMP inject element to update the pdf:Keywords field in a pdf. This has worked in the past without issues but we are now reprocessing some files and we need to add text such as "updated on : [date field]". I've added all the appropriate information to the element and when I process a file through the flow the Switch Messages indicates that the update to the Keywords was successful and that the correct information was added. However upon opening the file no changes appear to have taken place. Any ideas why this may be happening? Is it because there is already text in this field? Switch 2023 Fall

I could reproduce this and logged it as a bug. As a workaround you can two update rules in "Update XMP", the first one sets pdf:Keywords to an empty value and the second one sets the value.

Thank you for the update. I'll proceed with that method.
