Folder Schema missing for Assets

I believe you are specifically looking for the keyword folder marked in bold in documentation . "folder metadata schema "

I validated the steps mentioned in the document https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/release-notes it works as expected in AEM 6.3.2.0

Correct me if I am wrong and you are not able to see the Metadata Schemas option at all

HI Hemant,

Thanks for your response.

I am actually looking to modify the schema of the Asset folders.

Something like adding another column (as shown on the screen shot)

Can you please provide the steps to be followed to do the same.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Go to tools-> assets-> metadata schemas

Create a new schema

Edit the Schema

Add columns and custom fields

save the schema.

Now select this newly created schema and select the apply to folder option

select the folder where you want to apply the schema.

click on overwrite and you are done.

Now go to that folder and select any asset , click on properties , you will see the new custom metadata schema form with the custom fields that you defined.

so all existing and new files in that folder will follow the custom schema that you created and applied.

Here is the link for more information Metadata Schemas

Hi Hemant,

I think you are missing my question .

I don't need a schema on assets. I am looking at adding a custom schema for asset folder. In other words I am trying to add some custom metadata on the sling:orderedFolder Node & NOT on dam:Asset.

Please look at my screen shot above.

Thanks

Harish

oh I understand your question now. Let me check that feature in 6.3.2.0. I was checking that on 6.4

Hi Hemant,

Thanks for the above info.

I just realised i am using the version 6.3.1.2 .

Can you please confirm the package i need to install , on top of this to get this feature ?

Thanks

Harish

First install AEM 6.3 SP2 https://www.adobeaemcloud. https://www.adobeaemcloud.com/content/packageshare/tools/login.html?/content/marketplace/marketplaceProxy.html?packagePath=/content/companies/public/adobe/packages/cq630/servicepack/AEM-6.3.2.0

Then install AEM 6.3.2.0 CFP1 https://www.adobeaemcloud.com/content/marketplace/marketplaceProxy.html?packagePath=/content/companies/public/adobe/packages/cq630/cumulativefixpack/AEM-CFP-6.3.2.1

Installation of both will do automatic restart. 

Make sure you first do this on local instance.

Do take a backup of repository before installation in case you are doing it on other environment

Hi Hemant,

There is still an issue here.

The Schema Taxonomy looks like it it applicable for one folder.

The subfolders within this folder do NOT inherit this new schema.

Can we somehow get this applicable to sub folders ?

Thanks

Harish

Yes, its not inherited if there are existing subfolders inside a folder and you apply schema to only the parent folder.

But in case you have already applied schema to a parent folder and you are creating nee subfolders inside the parent then it will ask you to add a metadata schema while creating subfolder.

You can add folder metadata schema to subfolders programatically in case you have more number of subfolders.

You will be required to either write a workflow or event listener which will observe whenever a subfolder is created and the parent of which has a specific metadata schema applied, so copy that property to subfolder too.

of if you have less number of subfoders you can directly select the schema and use the option of apply to folder(s)

or

go to crx/de and add the property to the jcr:content node

folderMetadataSchema       /conf/global/settings/dam/adminui-extension/foldermetadataschema/test

or add that to your code and build it.

But yes when you create a new subfolder you will have to select.

I believe inheritance happens in case of assets only and not in folders.
