Sync metadata schema from oldui to newui

Hi,

We are trying to syn asset metadata schemas from AEM Assets Old UI to the AEM Assets New UI, but we are facing several issues and need clarity on the expected behavior of the new UI.

  • When importing metadata schemas from the Old UI, the schemas are created successfully but are not applied to any asset folder. In the New UI, there is a option to assign the imported schema to a folder but failing to add it to the folder.
  • Even after creating a new metadata schema directly in the New UI, we are unable to apply it to an asset folder.
  • We would like to understand whether folder properties can be viewed or managed in the New UI, and if so, how?
  • Unable to delete the schema in the new ui.

Could someone please clarify the intended behavior of metadata schemas in the AEM Assets New UI and share any relevant guidance if any configuration is missing our end.

Importing metadata forms from Admin View to Assets View is supported, but the form structure is not auto-synced between the two UIs after import. Assigning a metadata form to a folder in Assets View is also a supported feature, and folder assignment/removal should work as part of normal behaviour.

If the requirement is to manage metadata on the folder itself, that is handled through Folder Metadata Schemas in Admin View, which is a separate capability from asset metadata forms in Assets View.

Since form assignment and deletion are currently failing in your environment, this does not appear to be expected behavior and should be investigated further as a possible issue in the environment or product.
