Hi, I am using the Node SDK and having some issues updating meta data on the children folders of parent folders with a metadata cascade policy.  Currently I am using client.folders,addMetadata which does add the correct values to my folder however it overwrites it and I lose the data coming from the parent folders. I tried using client.folders.updateMetadata however I kept receiving errors when doing so saying things like "tuple_already_exists". I was hoping someone could show me the right syntax to get this to work. Anything and everything helps, Thanks!

    Are you still having trouble with this? If so, can you please share a code snippet? 

  We usually only see this error if metadata for a template is already present and a request to add metadata is made. This error can be handled with a try/catch. When found, a request to update the existing metadata should then be made, which it sounds like you tried.
