Your organization may have a lot of digital assets which belong, for example, to the same product group and therefore share some but not all of the same information field values. In order to apply all shared information field values across all matching assets with one click, you can use metadata templates in the Edit Metadata dialog.
Asset type of selected assets must match!
You can apply a metadata template either to a single asset or to multiple selected assets. The only prerequisite is that all selected assets must have the same asset type.
