Hi Steve,

The "Preserve Non-Audio Data" Option is available in RX5. You may have 
to "Export" the file to see it. It is one of the choices available along 
with BWF, etc. I suspect that Sound Forge may be stripping the metadata 
that you have entered. You can use BWF MetaEdit as a last step when you 
are done with the file. BWF MetaEdit is free and available at 
Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/directory/os:windows/?q=BWF+MetaEdit

Cheers!
