Automatic copy of tag and related info from PDF once retrieve metadata run

RimTimTimber
Hello Zoterians,

First of all, huge compliments to the developers for making a product that is changing how I and many do research.

Suggestion: There should be an option to allow tags and related info created for a PDF to be duplicated (automatically - or option to set) once a "retrieve metadata" operation is run. This way the tags and related associations will be passed onto the Item created by the retrieve metadata process.

Reasoning: Efficient workflow, logical organization and searches. I often add tag and related info to a PDF before I have gotten the metadata. That is, the PDF file is stand-alone at first. I often do not have time to retrieve metadata until later, but I know immediately how I want to tag and relate a PDF. So, when I later do a retrieve metadata I of course logically want my tag and related info passed on up to the item (the current version requires that I recreate tags and related info at the item level). All of this is true if I happen to retrieve metadata immediately for a newly imported PDF - tags and related are not passed down from the item level to the PDF.

Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you need any clarification.
Thanks!!
