Multi-date event page - metadata and page display

Here's a couple I'm having problems with.


We have an events submission system which allows creation of single events or multidate/recurring events (recurring events are created as multidate pages). As part of this event asset creation, metadata is input and applied to the relevant asset(s). This in turn can be display on the front end. What I'm curious about is when listing the mult-date events, when you click on the link for the instance to go to the asset and get further information it takes you to the instance that's part of the multi-date page and none of the metadata (event description, etc), is showing.



To be a little more clear, when going to the root url (the url for the page, not the specific instance), the correct information appears. I'm not sure if I need to use differenct keywords or specific metadata keywords/references for the event instances, so I'm curious for any idea as to how I would go about displaying this best.



These events are being created using the asset builder and the metadata is being applied through the asset builder.



Edit: I've noticed that if I go into the backend and manually cascade the values, it all essentially appears correctly. I've tried using the cascade value tickboxes that show on the front end (we're using 3.18.9) when submitting the events but it doesn't seem to cascade when creating the event initially and I can't see a way to use a trigger to do this.



Partly related is the metadata content that is displayed at the root url (as was entered through the system in place) is not displayed back on the front of the website with the the line feed/carriage return that should appear and is instead appearing as a continuous text block. Edit: Nevermind, found some CSS to sort this using a the PRE tag.



I have had a bit of a look through the relevant manuals, but nothing jumped out at me about these things, though if anyone can point me to something specific that would be great.
