Description HJ 2021-07-08 10:44:51 UTC 
SUMMARY
I use Zoner Photo Studio X to view pictures and rate and color labels on another computer over the network.

The ratings and color labels marked with it are not visible in the digiKam views.
Using Exif Pilot, it can be seen that this rating and label are generated in the XMPBasic part of the Xmp subpart of the image.

Rating and color label entries are not written elsewhere

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
digiKam Exiftool can read and display them, but it is not visible in different views.

EXPECTED RESULT
See changes made outside of digiKam.

That works for sure in digiKam.
1. In the advanced metadata settings, make sure that the tags for rating and label that are changed by the other program are at the top of the list.
2. You need to re-read the image metadata.

For more detailed information on what you need to set, we need an example image.

Thanks for the test image. The digiKam default entry for xmp.rating is OK. You just have to move the 2nd entry xmp.Label to the top position in the advanced metadata settings for color labels.

After deactivating the sidecar read-write, the rating transfer started working with the default settings.
The Color label transfer probably can't work, because in one case the color is marked with a number and in another case with a word.

By using different Windows programs you have generated a huge mix of metadata, since the Windows programs only write part of the metadata and do not synchronize all possible metadata fields. You also have different metadata in the images and in the XMP files. digiKam can also handle the color labels with text, you just have to set that these tags should be read first. Otherwise I would recommend you to clean up and syncronize your metadata with digiKam. I don't see any bug in digiKam here, I'll close the bug.
