Summary:
Uploading the metadata of an app in state „Ready for Sale“ using the Transporter tool leads to this error:
[2014-09-08 09:46:36 MESZ] <main> DBG-X:   parameter ErrorMessage = ERROR ITMS-4029: "Version '1.2.7', Locale 'de-DE': software_screenshots cannot be edited in the current state" at Software/SoftwareMetadata/SoftwareVersion/SoftwareVersionLanguageDetail

Although the uploaded XML explicitly doesn’t contain a <software_screenshots> tag!

This should be possible to change information like description, URLs, etc.


Steps to Reproduce:
Download the metadata XML using the Tranporter tool. Remove the <software_screenshots> tag from the version in state „Ready for Sale“ and try to upload that XML again. Change the description of that version.


Expected Results:
No error shown.

Actual Results:
Errors explained above.

Regression:
Worked in earlier versions!
