Edit Assets in Asset Bank

Single Edit

1. Navigate to your Asset Bank
2. Select the asset you would like to edit.
3. In the Info Tab, click. 
   • You can also use one of these shortcuts to skip directly to the edit window.
4. You can edit the asset's name/ title, description, metaproperties, tags, related assets, copyright, advanced rights, custom fields, and collections here.
   • Metaproperties not configured as main filters are available under the Custom Fields section.
   • The Description section has a 4GB character limit. 
5. Once edits are complete, click Save.

Batch Edit

If you are making the same change to multiple assets, we recommend Batch Edit. You can also apply filters or use the search bar to narrow your asset results. For example, if all assets need to be tagged with the same tag(s), you can add the tag, which will be applied to all selected assets.

You can batch edit up to 1500 assets at the same time. If batch editing exceeds 1500, we recommend using the API. 

1. Navigate to your Asset Bank
2. Select the assets you want to edit, and either select or select the E key on your keyboard. 
3. The batch editing screen will open, where you can see your assets' thumbnails. 

4. You can see the thumbnails of up to 20 assets.

   

   • Contact Support to increase the number of thumbnails to 50. 
   • Not all available fields will appear under the thumbnail; if you want a field to appear under the thumbnail, select next to the Metaproperty.
5. By default, all assets are selected; however, you can deselect the assets if you do not want to apply the change to an asset by selecting next to the asset.

6. You must select 20 or fewer assets to see the thumbnail of each asset when bulk editing. More than 20 will look like this:

   

7. In the sidebar, you can edit the title, description, metaproperties, tags, related assets, copyright, and advanced rights and add assets to collections. 
8. All of the changes applied in the sidebar will be applied to all of the assets selected. 
   • Metaproperties not configured as main filters are available under the Custom Fields section.
   • When bulk editing the metaproperty level dependencies are not respected. This is the dependency level where showing or hiding an metaproperty presides. 
   • Note: Taxonomy automations (metaproperty dependencies) don’t trigger automatically when opening the Batch Edit screen. To access dependent fields like Asset Sub-type, re-select the primary value to refresh the automation and display all related fields correctly.

9. You can edit an asset by selecting the corresponding option beneath the asset's thumbnail. Changes made under the thumbnail will only affect that specific asset.

   

10. Once you have made the edits, click Save Selected Files. 

Troubleshooting

I am getting a "Invalid amount of options for single-select metaproperty" error when uploading assets, modifying metadata, or executing API/CSV data updates.

This error occurs because the targeted metaproperty is configured as a Single select type, which strictly permits only one option to be assigned to an asset at any given time. The validation is triggered when a manual upload, automated workflow, mass CSV import, or API payload attempts to pass multiple options or an array of values to that single-select field.

To troubleshoot and resolve this validation error, follow these sequential steps:

1. Navigate to your Portal and go to Settings > Taxonomy > Metaproperties management.
2. Click Metaproperties and options in the left sidebar and search for the affected metaproperty.
3. Review the metaproperty Type configuration in the right panel: 
   • If your current business workflow requires assets to support multiple selected values for this field, change the type configuration from Single select to Multi-select.
   • Note: While you can alternate between Single select and Multi-select, changing an active field from Multi-select back to Single select will leave previously uploaded assets tagged with multiple options until they are manually updated or cleared.
4. If the metaproperty must remain configured as a Single select type, audit your ingestion source data to remove redundancies:
   • For Manual Uploads/Edits: Select only one option radio button or dropdown value during the asset edit process.
   • For CSV Metadata Imports: Open your import spreadsheet and verify the column corresponding to the single-select metaproperty. Remove any comma-separated or duplicated option entries so that only one unique value remains per cell.
   • For API Integrations: Inspect your JSON or cURL request body payload. Ensure that the metaproperty object maps to a single string option ID rather than an array or a list containing multiple option IDs.

FAQs

Can I add an emoji to the Asset description field?

No, the asset description field does not support emojis.
