Metadata field with Multiple Text

Squiz Matrix Support
1

I created Metadata Schema with Multiple Text field.
Then applied schema to asset and added some text values to that field.


  1. Is there a way to print only a specific value from this metadata? (like first value or second value…)

    I tried %asset_metadata_[name]:1%, but it's not working.



    All I can do is print all values with %asset_metadata_[name]% divided by hyphen :\


  2. Is there a way to count how many values are filled?

  1. Nope

    Fix? I suggest you can either use some fancy pants javascript to interrogate the list OR try the implement the same functionality using Tagging perhaps?

    I'm disappointed. Javascript would be hard to use in this case - because I'd like to use conditional statements in paint layout on this metadata later.

    Tags won't help in this case. I'll just create a schema with finite set of metadata text fields.



    Thanks for quick answer.

It is possible to get the first word from the list using a keyword modifier maxwords


%asset_metadata_[name]^maxwords:1% would give you the first word



%asset_metadata_[name]^maxwords:10% word give you the first 10 words



But being able to get the 2nd or 3rd is not possible

Cheers Dave! This has just saved me creating a new metadata type!
