ID 602284 - Nuke Studio/Hiero crashes when accessing the Metadata of a Tag that was initialized without a name

Problem summary:
Nuke Studio/Hiero crashes when accessing the Metadata of a Tag that was initialized without a name
 
Customer reported version:
Hiero 16.0v1
 
Customer reported platform:
Rocky 9
 
Steps to reproduce:
1) Launch Nuke Studio/Hiero and open the Script Editor
2) Execute the following code and observe the application's performance:

tag = hiero.core.Tag() md = tag.metadata()

 
Expected behavior:
Accessing the metadata of a Tag should not cause Nuke Studio/Hiero to crash, regardless of the Tag's initial parameters.
 
Actual behavior:
If a Tag is created with an empty name, such as tag = hiero.core.Tag() or tag = hiero.core.Tag(""), Nuke Studio/Hiero will crash if the metadata for the object is accessed via tag.metadata().
 
Workaround:
Besides creating the Tag with a non-empty name like with the following code, there is no known workaround at this time:

tag = hiero.core.Tag(" ") #Use a temporary/non-empty string md = tag.metadata() print(md)
