Description

The metadata helper is too complex and inflexible. Significant changes should be made to simplify - like holistically collecting everyhing for "metadata" rather than having magic value fields in the metadata helper - magic values can be chosen for the specific report instead. this would also enable doing the TagsOnly mode with DependsOn per #535
