I found this example at MikeBeach [dot] org... but I'm getting the error below from the following:
exiftool -overwrite_original -tagsFromFile "IMG_0010.xmp" -all:all "IMG_0010.heic"

Warning: Can't currently decode protected application/rdf+xml metadata - IMG_0010.heic
    0 image files updated
    1 image files unchanged

Do I need to map the XMP tags to EXIF?

Further to above...

exiftool -DateTimeOriginal="2020:03:17 08:30:00" IMG_0010.heic

and get same error.  will investigate to see if the image is corrupted.

p.s. all using V12.30

A sample image where this happens would probably be helpful, but I'm guessing right now Phil is experiencing really good weather which means he's out taking pictures.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Good guess, but this time I was enjoying the nice weather at the cottage (where I don't have internet).

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
