I don't understand what you mean.
Regarding
Origin tab fields i said are missing are
written inside .arw file, however they are not displaying when i open back
Metadata > Edit XMP
They saved to this fields inside .arw file
and displayed in Info panel IPTC tab.
which is fine with me i just want to see them displayed when i go back to
Metadata > Edit XMP.

These fields are not supported by ExifTool
Also please note
Options tab
Mode drop-down makes no difference, is it supposed to create .xmp sidecar when "XMP" option selected?
I tested both options and it just writes both XMP & IPTC fields into ARW file regardless of selected option.

ExifTool seems to update only IPTC/Urgency and not XMP:Urgency
Also please note Options tab Mode drop-down makes no difference, is it supposed to create .xmp sidecar when "XMP" option selected?
No, it's to sync between IPTC and XMP metadatas (XMP can be embedded or external .xmp)
