Hi All,

We have a Asset metadata schema with various fields , Many of them are optional. Now we are trying to make few fields as required, and expectation was it gives an error if any those mandatory fields are is not authored for new assets . But it is showing a error message (REQUIRED METADATA IS MISSING) for the existing assets. Is there a way to not to display such error for the already existing assets ?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

Not sure which AEM version you are talking about here, my reply assumes it is for 6.4 (though most of it will be applicable even for previous versions too).

-> expectation was it gives an error if any those mandatory fields are is not authored for new assets .

For this definition of "new assets" needs to be shape out first, to keep it simple, I am considering assets which are ingested in last 24 hours are new assets.

-> Is there a way to not to display such error for the already existing assets ?

Yes. AFAIK there is no config to achieve this but you can overlay[0], there is a method with name hasValidMetadata at line no. 353. Just update the method and add condition to return true only for assets which are ingested(jcr:created) 24 hour before.
