AEM Cloud Folder Metadata Schema properties

Hi Team,

 

We have a folder metadata schema created on AEM Cloud environment using reference : https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/admin/folder-metadata-schema

 

I applied it to a folder in DAM and now I expect the properties should be visible on assets level as well but I dont see that Folder metadata schema properties are showing at asset properties './jcr:content/metadata/xx'

This is a working solution before but I could see it is not working now.

 

Anyone could please help me in this.

 

Thanks,
SD

Hi @sdusane ,

Folder Metadata Schema applies only to the folder itself, not to the assets inside.

If you need those fields on assets, you must create/assign an Asset Metadata Schema (not a Folder schema) to the asset’s MIME type or apply it to the assets directly.

This was never meant to push folder-level metadata automatically into child assets - if you saw it before, it was likely a custom workflow or overlay, not OOTB behavior.


Folder schema = folder properties only.

Asset schema = asset properties.

If you want folder metadata to propagate to assets, you need a custom workflow or listener that copies folder metadata into asset metadata on upload/update.

hi @sdusane,

can you check if the folderMetadataSchema property of the folder node under ./jcr:content has the path to the schema form?
