Research direction

Start with the updateMetadata command and inspect how it currently receives and parses its JSON argument. Determine how file input should be represented, then verify the command can handle metadata without hitting the reported command-line length limit.

Description

Hi,

When I try to update the metadata of my submission using the updateMetadata command, it fails due to the character limit of the command line. Wouldn't it be better if the command accepted a file instead of a JSON string in the command line?
