Wrong syntax with tagsfromfile?

Code:

exiftool -q -q -overwrite_original -tagsfromfile "$ORIGINAL" -EXIF:CreateDate ... -MakerNotes:DynamicRangeExpansion "$FILE"

I use the above code within a script, so there could be a bug in my script. I want to ask, if this code is ok. I see the date, but not the DynamicRangeExpansion. "$ORIGINAL" is a jpg-file, where I copied all makernotes with a similar syntax from a K20D-PEF-file.

The code shows a + in DynamicRangeExpansion. Probably a bug with the forum.software. It is 1 word in my script and ... means that there are a lot of other fields.

The forum inserts a red "+" for a continued line.

You can only edit the value of DynamicRangeExpansion if the tag already exists.
This is true for all makernote tags.  The structure of the makernotes must
be preserved to avoid confusing the OEM software, so makernote tags can not
be added or deleted individually.
