Folder metadata management

Metadata is a set of properties (key-value pairs) that can be set for folders to improve asset categorisation and search.

Interacting with the metadata can be achieved with the following APIs:

Set/change folder metadata

PUT /v4/folder/{folder_uuid}/meta

API permissions

DIR_META_CHANGE

Body

{
    "meta": {
        "key1": "hello",
        "key2": [
            "something",
            "else"
        ]
    }
}

Please note that any current metadata of the folder will be deleted. If you would like to just set/change a key-value pair, you can use the set a key-value pair method.
