Have an issue with custom DAM metadata in AEM 5.5

[Community_Admin]

Has anybody else seen this problem in CQ5.5?

Create some custom Metadata settings using these instructions:

Create /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems (copy the form from/libs/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems).Add a new control and set the name to ./namespace:property e.g, ./dam:Example.Save your changes. After saving, all CQ DAM users can view and edit this property.

When I upload an asset to the DAM, I only see the new metadata setting if I disable the default workflow launcher "DAM Update Asset"

If it is enabled then I can only see the default metadata.

Is this a bug?

I see that Service Pack 2.1 has some DAM fixes, but I have not had a chance to see if it addresses this issue.

Thanks

hi,

I also had this problem, but when you upload a document(.docx) you can see the new metadata setting.

If you check under path /libs/dam/content/asseteditors, there are other folders like application, image which have their own metadata.

For example if you need to attach new metadata for a .pdf file you need to create new metadata under path

/apps/dam/content/asseteditors/application/pdf/formitems.
