ExcludeEntryFromEditorExport

Description

Marks a key or entry so that editor exporters skip it.

Use this to keep editor-only or placeholder strings out of the files exported for translators, for example a collection JSON or CSV export. The entry stays in the collection; only the exported file omits it. It implements IMetadata, so it is stored in a MetadataCollection, and it carries no data of its own: its presence is the flag. The MetadataAttribute on this type allows it on shared keys and per-locale entries, and limits each target to a single instance.
