Allow Metadata Updates While a File Is Being Edited or Locked
Currently, file metadata cannot be updated when the file is being edited or locked by another user.
This behavior interferes with background systems that automatically apply or update metadata in response to events such as webhooks. For example, even when a background process only needs to update metadata and does not modify the file content itself, the metadata update fails if the file is currently locked.
We believe that restricting metadata updates simply because the file content is not writable is undesirable. Metadata updates should be treated independently from modifications to the file content.
Please provide a way to update file metadata even when the file is being edited or locked by another user.
