[Z7 Beta] Automatic metadata retrieval fills out fields with "Not Available"

Hi all,
I've just added a PDF to my library and after a few seconds Zotero automatically created a parent entry and filled out the data like this:

As I'm currently on a spotty internet connection the lookup might've failed. I would however expect that this would not be saved as metadata. It's of course not a big problem but I thought I'd let you know.

This is the "correct" metadata for that DOI (as available on Crossref):
https://search.crossref.org/?from_ui=yes&q=10.12907/WE202002123
https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u265723/sfbhaquikps1nmd640c0.png

And the URL corresponding to the DOI:
https://www.medra.org/en/unavailable_resource.htm
https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u265723/ubuj91m0qf2cpvac5zek.png

Is it the correct DOI?
Where is the PDF from?

I guess we could update the mEDRA translator to not return data in that case.

Yes, I think that would make sense (I got the PDF from the author, who seems to have downloaded it from content-select - their metadata is often quite bad, so that might be the cause for the problem here).
