Unable to edit Metadata bound fields in Draft Spaces

Custom Metadata with metadata binding specified shows up just fine in Draft Spaces, but is not editable. Has anyone go this working in Draft Spaces?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

  • Long shot here, as I have to guess your version and actual setup. Also the implementation details of your (chosen) connector could matter.

    MetadataBinding was added in the product in 2016/12.0.0, and only for multi-value string values. The idea of doing MetadataBinding for LOV-Values or dates does not make sense and was put non-scope.

    Sometimes things/requests come in waves together, and we are looking into simplifying single-value string field configuration. Currently you have to configure it as multi-value and then have an IWrite-plugin to block submit of multiple values.

    So in turn

    1. It is advised to create your configured database fields over DBUT as multi-value string, and in turn configure metadataconfig.xml with <multivalue> as well
    2. If your field cannot be recreated because they already have a lot of data, then I assume they are single-value string. Still configure metadataconfig.xml as <multivalue> ... potentially a custom IWrite plugin to block submitting multiple values.

    Option 1 is preferred, clearly in the supported region. Option 2 is trying to solve the problem

    Hope this gets you going again...

  • Hi Dave,

    Thank you for the response, the field was setup as a multivalue in DBUT and does have multivalue set in metadataconfig, still no luck. We have the latest version of Tridion Docs 14 SP3 and latest Draft/Review Spaces. Looked at the Developer tools while trying to set value on a metadata bound field and I get the following error.Screenshot of Trados Studio error message in Developer tools console stating 'Uncaught TypeError: e.reduce is not a function' with red error icon and code references.

    Thanks,
