Metadata.applyMetadataTemplate() not working (ExtendScript) still not working in Bridge 2024 v14.0.4

[William29499344m7wj]

Saw Lumigraphics thread saying it's not working in 2023:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/bridge-2023-numerous-bugs-unusable/td-p/13292491

When will it get fixed?

[Lumigraphics]

This code works in Bridge 12 but is broken in Bridge 13, 14, and 15 beta (obviously with a corresponding "2024" metadata template installed.)

try{
	var sels = app.document.selections;
	app.synchronousMode = true;
	var fileMeta = sels[0].metadata; //new metadata object
	fileMeta.applyMetadataTemplate('2024', 'replace');
	app.synchronousMode = false;
	}
catch(e){
	Window.alert(e + e.line);
}

Hi, 
 
The fix for this issue is available in the latest update of Adobe Bridge (15.0.3). 
We would love for you to try it out and share your feedback.

Since two weeeks, Bridge crashes upon starting. I can't even access the preferences since the program closes immediately. I de-installed it and reinstalled it, but to no avail. The version is 15.0.3 and I am using OS Sequoia 15.3.2
