Enable "Export to Metadata" for individual assets in AEM

[Murali__D]

I'm currently working in the AEM Assets console and noticed that when I select a folder, the "Export to Metadata" option appears in the top toolbar. However, when I select an individual asset, this option disappears.

I would like to enable the "Export to Metadata" option for individual assets as well, not just folders.

Can someone guide me on how to enable this Export to Metadata  types for individual assets?

@Murali__D I just test ran for one asset by modifying the URL like below. it worked for one asset instead of folder. If you want to do through it console, you might request RFE with Adobe.

@Murali__D : This feature is meant to be used for Bulk assets, therefore it shows for a folder.
If you wanted to extract/update metadata of an individual asset, it is easier to do in Assets/DAM itself by checking the properties of it.
Still if you wanted to do this for an individual assets, I think a workaround can be to create a temporary folder and putting your asset into it.
thanks.

Hi Team,

I developed this feature by adding a custom export metadata option for all assets. When an individual asset is selected—either directly or through the search function—the "Export Metadata" button appears. The same behavior applies when selecting a folder.

Thank you.
