Batch applying metadata to folders without using an exported excel doc

Hi - I'm trying to see if I can apply metadata to a folder and then push that metadata to its contents

We catalog creative projects and the folder metadata is the same for each asset, unless there happens to be a restricted asset inside it. What I want to do is apply the metadata to the project folder (client0000_description) and then push all of that metadata to the included files. Right now, it seems as if we can only batch apply metadata to files that exist in a single folder or select the folders we need to apply the metadata to and then export an excel doc, add in all of the information needed by hand, not even being able to utilize the dropdowns that exist in the system already) and then import that excel. This process takes 4-5x longer than the asset system we've been using.
