Updating the metadata of multiple pages

(markymark) #1

**Matrix Version v5.4.0.3

Hi,
I need to update the metadata of tens, possibly hundreds, of pages. In some cases there are lots pages which require the same metadata tags. Is there someway to update the metadata of a group of pages at the same time rather than one at a time?

Hi

Depending on how your assets are structured and what you need to modify - you could try the cascade value option on the metadata field.

I tend to use the JS API and some custom scripts for these kind of maintenance jobs (eg iterate over an array of asset ids and new values and use one of the setMetadata functions to update).

Thanks
Peter

Thanks Peter,
I’m going to use the cascade value method.

Cheers Mark.
