Parameters

Input (createMetadataFieldParam)

Parameter name Type Required Description
companyName xsd:string Yes Name of the company the metadata field belongs to.
assetType xsd:string Yes Asset type.
name xsd:string Yes Name of the metadata field that you are creating.
fieldType xsd:string Yes Metadata field type.

The metadata field types constant defines the available types.

defaultValue xsd:string No

The default value of the metadata field to be created (for example, Scene 7).

Default values are not supported for tag field types and must be omitted. If a non-empty default is specified for a tag field type, a fault will be returned.

isHidden xsd:boolean No Hide or expose IPS system-specific metadata.
isEnforced xsd:boolean

No

A boolean flag that indicates whether the metadata field is enforced (validated) when the value is set.

If set to true, then a fault is thrown if an illegal value is set in setAssetMetadata / batchSetAssetMetadata.

initialTagValue xsd:string No Allows you create a set of shared enumerated values that selected tags can point to.

Output (createMetadataFieldReturn)

Name Type Required Description
*fieldHandle* xsd:string Yes The handle to the new metadata field.
