Allow to add meta data on file upload using CDF UI interface

Hi Pooja,

Thanks for your request.   So for clarity, you wish to be able to upload a JSON file, which would contain metadata pertaining to the file you are uploading, to be stored in the Files service?

One benefit of uploading the metadata via API is when performing a bulk operation, reducing the risk of inconsistencies in metadata structure across multiple files.  When uploading individual JSON objects, the risk of inconsistency may increase.

However, I’ve passed on your suggestion to the appropriate Product Manager and we will come back to you if we need any further information.

Kind Regards, Glen
 

Hi Glen, 

Yes, for bulk upload API is good. But in some cases when user is uploading the document and he needs to attach the meta data. In this case if we have capability in the UI to allow user to add meta data then it will be better.

OK understood, thanks Pooja.  Your request has been logged in our feature prioritisation system and the product manager responsible for the upload UI should be in touch if there are any follow up questions.

Hi @Pooja Sinha ! 

Some time has passed since you logged this request, and we have been monitoring interest. 
We have not chosen to prioritize this functionality on our roadmap. I’ll move this item to parked, but will make sure to bring it up again when we prioritize work on file upload. 

Thank you again. 

Best, 

Sofie Berge, Lead Product Manager
