custom Metadata Schema Editors not working for bulk edits of assets from different folders

[sripadas5522801]

We have created a custom metadata schema editor and used it for assets under a particular folder structure.

Steps to reproduce the issue :

1. Navigate to assets dam folder and search for particular extension (Ex: jpg)
2. Select multiple assets from same folder and click on 'View Properties'
3. Observe that custom metadata schema editor is shown.
4. Select multiple assets from different folder and click on 'View Properties'
5. Observe that default metadata schema editor is shown instead of custom schema editor.

Expected result : On selection of multiple assets from different folders, custom metadata schema editor should be shown.

Appreciate any help on this !

What version of AEM is this on?

Facing this issue on AEM 6.1.0

Tested on 6.1 latest CFP and all working as normal for both methods, the metadata editor is triggered:

mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets/metadataeditor.external.html

As you have a custom editor check that it is overlayed properly, and that the sling selector works.

When I re-looked at the overlay of custom metadata shcema editor, got to know that we have to overlay

'/libs/dam/gui/components/admin/metadataeditor/formresourcefinder.jsp'

for controlling the schema editor to display for bulk editing.

Thanks !!
