Circular Keyword Reference(s) found

Hey Guys,

 

I am attempting  to use some keyword replacement in my metadata fields to save on repetitive keywords and description input.

 

example -

 

Creative Regions Lab - Charles Sturt University -  Project - %asset_short_name%. Project authors include %metadata_field_Project_Team%

 

I get the following warning -

  • keywords
  • dc.description
  • description

 

Circular Keyword Reference(s) found

 

any idea what I am doing wrong?

 

be gentle :)

Hey mate, sorry if I’m on the wrong track, but are you just trying to print the frontend values of that field? If so, %asset_metadata_Project_Team% is the format for printing these. Mods and replacements can then be made to those values.

Is this any help?

woo! that was quick. I tried %asset_metadata_Project_Team% as well and it was giving me no love. Sorry I should have said that as well. I will give it another whirl - CMS may just be temperamental this eve...

 

yep just tried it =( nooo luurve noo luuurvvvve

Step 1 in metadata keyword troubleshooting is case of characters. Is the field name definitely title case as you’re referencing it? Sometimes I have to triple check this! :slight_smile:

ello there thanks so much for the help - especially so late as well!

 

Yep it is. I think it is because I also have another schema referencing these fields that's attached to the asset. I thought I would be able to reuse what was inputted in these fields to save some time

Yea if you are referencing the value of another field in a different field output, you need to use the %metadata_field format like you have.

 

I'd be interested to see the error messages you get though as this:

 

I get the following warning -

  • keywords
  • dc.description
  • description

 

Doesn't look like a matrix error?

Thanks Bart - I only get the warning when I use the metadata value in another field. The warnings I get is basically that I cannot use it .

I must be just missing something simple

8

Can you paste the actual warning message that you get? Or screenshot it?

 

It's strange though, what type of metadata field is %metadata_field_Project_Team% ?

Thanks so much for your help bart =)

 

no matrix  mysource warning popped up when I did the assets individually rather than cascade - but the circular key warning still pops up Warning

Looks like the metadata field keyword replacement you are using there is eventually referenced back to itself.

 

The "Circular Keyword Reference(s) found" warning is shown if a metadata field "A" references to another metadata field "B" that eventually references back to "A". For example following will give you such warning:

 

Example 1: Referencing itself

 

name: %metadata_field_name%

 

Example 2: Circular referencing through 2 or more fields

 

field_a: %metadata_field_field_b%

field_b: %metadata_field_field_c%

field_c: %metadata_field_field_a%

 

Can you show us your metadata screen for which you are getting this warning?
