Is it possible to move fields to different tabs on an AEM Asset Metadata Schema?

[Erika_Antkowiak]

Hi team, 

We are preparing to roll out our Workfront to AEM Assets connector to our users soon and before we do so we want to clean up the metadata schema tabs. Is there a way to move fields from one metadata schema tab to another? We don't want to loose data that has been input manually or that was pushed from Workfront. Any recommendations?

Best,

E

@Erika_Antkowiak Even though i haven't tested it, i feel as long you keep the property name same of those fields in the metadata schema you can move around between tabs. One sample field i mentioned below whose property is highlighted. Please try it and see. Its easy to modify it in metadata xml in code base than the UI. 

<title
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    sling:resourceType="dam/gui/components/admin/schemafield"
    fieldLabel="Title"
    name="./jcr:content/metadata/dc:title"
    resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield">
    <granite:data
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        cq-msm-lockable="./metadata/dc:title"
        metaType="text"
        requiredCascading="default"
        visibilityCascading="default"/>
</title>

Moving a metadata field from one tab to another in metadata schema should not affect existing metadata on the assets. While moving, you need to make sure that the same property name is used so that the metadata captured on the asset is visible on the new tab.

@Erika_Antkowiak  it is possible using schema editor which allows drag/drop for the field but only possible with in same metadata schema not from one schema to another.
