Darktable metadata import problem

 Looks like it has to be done a certain way in order to work as I want:

• The "apply metadata on import" has to be unchecked (otherwise metadata gets set from the values in the various fields underneath)
• The checkmark "to be imported" has to be checked in order for Darktable to read these fields from the imported file (and/or .XMP sidecar, if present)
