Customize metadata form with Iptc4xmpExt properties

[henkv26374766]

Hi,

We have image files representing museum objects, with the inventory number embedded in the Iptc4xmpExt:AOSourceInvNo -property. In the JSON view, it looks like this:

Iptc4xmpExt:ArtworkOrObject": {
"1": {
"newRendition": true,
"Iptc4xmpExt:AOSourceInvNo": "B08/24AB",
"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured"
},
"xmpArrayType": "rdf:Bag",
"newRendition": true,
"isXMPArray": true,
"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured"
}

Now we"re trying to make this information visible in the AEM forms (following the explanation in https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/manage-form-metadata.html). However, I can't figure out which value I need to enter in the map to property filed. (I tried "./jcr:content/metadata/Iptc4xmpExt:AOSourceInvNo" and "./jcr:content/metadata/Iptc4xmpExt:ArtworkOrObjectAOSourceInv" - but no luck with these.)

Any ideas?

Henk

Are you trying to pre fill form with this data? If yes then this is independent of the metadata associated with the form. So meta data won't be prefilled on form render. What you need to do prefill, please follow https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/prepopulate-adaptive-form-fields.html

"...Are you trying to pre fill form with this data?"

- mm, not really: the values are embedded in the files before we ingest the into AEM - each file has a different value. And so we want to make this values visible in the form. So I think it's just a matter of getting the property field in the form right.

PS Meanwhile I found out that if I set the property to jcr:content/metadata/Iptc4xmpExt:ArtworkOrObject/1/Iptc4xmpExt:AOSourceInvNo, metadata can be written in the right way to the asset - but strangely, they remain invisible in the interface

Hi there,

this issue is still open: we can write only one instance of the property, and although the value is written to the file (as an rdf:Bag), the value is not visible.

furthermore, it is not possible to enter multiple values (i.e. multiple bags) 

any thoughts on this?

best wishes,

Henk
