Adding custom tags in TagUI

I created a custom metadata schema under metadata schema forms with new metadata properties and applied it to a DAM directory where I'm working. However I get an error "Unable to edit properties. Insufficient permissions." if the asset doesn't already have the custo metadata properties. (it works for files that have been previously custom metadata properties) How do I set it up to create the metadata node for files without the custom tags when using the TagUI?

1. Ensure Permissions: Make sure the user executing the TagUI script has permissions to edit metadata in the DAM, including creating new properties. Check user roles (e.g., DAM Admin or Author).

 

2. Verify Metadata Schema: Confirm the custom metadata schema is applied to the asset types (e.g., images, documents) in the DAM. It must be associated correctly.

3. Create Metadata Node for New Assets: Ensure your script handles assets that don't have the metadata properties. You may need to use AEM's REST API to create the metadata nodes for new assets before modifying them. Example:

POST /bin/querybuilder.json { "path": "/content/dam/your-folder", "type": "dam:Asset", "p.limit": "-1" }

4. TagUI Execution: Ensure the TagUI script is run with the correct user credentials and permissions. Simulate metadata field updates with set and click commands as needed.
