Bulk edit metadata properties for an asset and bulk untag assets

[smrithi_govind]

Hello Community,

I have a requirement to bulk remove custom metadata properties (single-valued) for assets including removal of custom tags for bulk assets in AEM 6.5

I know that there is no OOTB means to bulk remove the properties.

Can anyone suggest what is the next best approach to deal this?

Thank you for your support.

@smrithi_govind  Please try the following custom methods to achieve this request:

1. Create groovy script - here you can find an example that in general will do what you need - you will of course have to adjust properties/metadata that you would like to remove - https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-asset-metadata-delete/...
2. You will be able to get similar results using on deploy scripts - https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/on-deploy-scripts/index.html
3. An extension for ACS Commons Manage Control Process - here is detailed description what should be done to use it for bulk deletion of properties/metadata - https://kiransg.com/2021/12/10/bulk-add-update-and-delete-properties-in-aem-without-using-groovy-con...

Hope this helps.

Hi smrithi_govind You can also use OOTB feature, you can export metadata then do necessary changes in CSV file and  import updated CSV refer follow steps 

Export metadata and download 

Modify file and upload it again using below path.

in second approach you can write java servlet using JCR API you can remove properties Let me know if it helps you or not
