Pre-Populate Textfield value with MetaData from from Droptarget's path to Asset

[TheRealUpWorks]

I am using a dropTarget for a video component. After the author drags the video to the target I would like to pre-populate the title node in the dialog from the dc:title value of the asset.  What is the best way to approach this? Seems like the OOTB droptarget only support pathfield to be pre-populated into the dialog.

Thank you in advance for advice or pointers to samples.

Try overlaying /libs/foundation/components/video and implement your logic accordingly.

Hi Sham, thank you for the reply but that still leaves holes, the /libs/foundation/components/video does not have dropTarget and even still I need a way to pull meta data from the dropped asset in addition to the path field into the dialog.

I am thinking it should be a listener on the textfield for the video title that when blank, it xHR's the dc:title from the asset as the textfield value.
