Create custom triggers for metaproperties – Bynder Support

When you upload and asset and you select a specific metaproperty value, you might want this value to trigger an action. For example, if you select the value Copyright from the options of the Terms of Use metaproperty, then the Watermark option will be automatically selected in the Advanced Rights. Alternatively, you can decide that selecting Copyright will pre-fill the Explanation Restrictions metaproperty with a specific text.

Note

Custom Triggers can be set up for metaproperties of the Select and Select2 type.

How to create custom triggers?

Go to Settings > Taxonomy > Metaproperties management.
Click for the metaproperty that whose option should be the trigger for the action.
In the options overview, click the dependencies icon for the option that should trigger the action.

In the Custom triggers section, select the following:
1. Choose trigger - decide if you want the action to happen when the metaproperty option is selected or deselected.
2. Choose target - decide which other metaproperty option should be affected by the trigger.
