Hi @ddttom1,

Here is a sample JSON that shows supported format:

{ "options": [ { "text": "Test1", "value": "Value1" }, { "text": "Test2", "value": "Value2" } ] }

Please be aware that json file can not be added to the dam, it has to be under different location e.g /apps

Values will not be visible under AEM Metadata Schema Form Editor.

I have a few of these JSON files. Is it best practice to store these under /apps?

By the way I have successfully added json file under content/dam. I uploaded json file as asset to dam and added /jcr:content/renditions/original to the file path, for example: /content/dam/my-project/metadata-dropdown-products.json/jcr:content/renditions/original
