Additional Information

I am trying to use autotrain to fine tune an image detection model, and the training fails to start. It throws a 500 error, saying that the metadata.jsonl file is missing, but right before this it gives a message saying that it removed my metadata.jsonl file. I have formatted my data acording to these docs, although there seem to be some contradictions in the instructions on this page.
