Different metadata for different asset category

[sumitc22]

Hi,

We have a requirement that depending on the category of the asset , a list of metadata needs to be applied to that asset ( eg, marketing asset have a different set of metadata than product asset )

Is it possible to achieve the same with AEM asset metadata schema or somehow else?

There is quite a lot of documentation on this subject in the CQ docs. See this topic:

Hi Scott,

Looking for a little different thing.Need to define 2 kinds of asset ( lets say both having MIME type jpeg), but having different metadata schema.

Is it possible?

One way is define all the fields & then control with acl.

Alternative for classic ui is using a listener on the particular field you want to hide and then hide the field based on the path. To do this, create a listeners node of type nt:unstructured under the field  (e.g. /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/image/jpeg/formitems/person/listeners) and set the beforeloadcontent property something like:
function(f, r, p) { if (p.indexOf("/content/dam/geometrixx/") == 0) { f.hide(); } return true; }
This will hide this field for assets under /content/dam/geometrixx. You could adjust this to meet other requirements.

Tryout Apply same principal to touch ui but never tried personally.
