Metadata Fields Management
The Metadata Fields Management task can be used to add new fields into your metadata,
either for every element or through conditions.
Note
This task will automatically "loop" through the metadata and repeat its action for each of
your metadata's datapage. This task should not be placed after a Metadata Sequencer.
Input
Any data file with accompanying metadata.
Processing
Fields are added, removed, modified, etc, according to the actions defined in the task
properties. If the field is present in a level that repeats (for example, the data page level), this
task loops so that the action may take place on each of the occurrence of that level.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the modified metadata.
Properties

Action: Select the type of Metadata Field Management action to perform. 5 action types
are available:
l
Add/Replace: Create a new metadata field. If the name already exists, the value is
overwritten with the new one.
l
Duplicate: Create a new metadata field. If the fields already exist, a new instance is
created.
l
Append: Append the new value at the end of the current one. If no field with that
name exists, a new one is created.
