Setting metadata for alternate context in JS API

#1

Hi all,

I am using the JS Api to set metadata for an asset that I create. When I set the metadata for the default context using the setMetadata function, there are no problems. I then try to change the context via the setContext method and then set the metadata for the alternate context. This returns as an error.

Is there something I am missing when trying to set metadata for an alternate context in the JS API?

Thanks in advance

Can you share some more info?
What version of Matrix?
What’s the error?
What are the replication steps?

Hi Bart,

Sorry it took so long to reply. I managed to figure out that I needed to contextualise the asset first before setting metadata in that context but this has brought up its own separate problem. When I contextualise the asset’s attributes, this passes ok but when I try to contextualise the metadata, it fails.

I am using Matrix 5.4.4.1
Current error is [“Faied to contextualised metadata for asset #1412719 in context #1.”]
Steps: Create event asset, aquire locks, attempt to contextualise asset to context 1

Hey Curtis, sounds like a very strange issue, not heard of that before. Might be a bug with your version, or a specific issue just in your system or just that asset, or maybe just that context? You might be best off sending a ticket into Squiz support to get some help from them to see if an implementer can’t log in and have a look for you.
