@ralsina @Kwpolska Is it recommended to update the changelog with every pull request? Or is it better to leave those changes for the maintainers?

[ralsina]

@punchagan I prefer if you add things to the changelog in the PR itself.

BTW, how does this work if you have conflicting metadata specified in a post?

[punchagan]

@ralsina, OK will keep in mind for future PRs.

The additional metadata is added to the post, when the post file is being created. The post doesn't "exist" yet, to be able to specify conflicting metadata. But, the ADDITIONAL_METADATA can have values like title or date, and in that case, creating the new post will fail with an error TypeError: create_post() got multiple values for keyword argument 'title'.

Oh, I thought it was meant to add extra data to existing posts as well!
