When you upload a file and choose a particular metaproperty value, you might want that value to activate a certain function. For instance, if you pick the value Copyright from the Terms of Use metaproperty choices, it will automatically select the Watermark option in the Advanced Rights section. Another option is to have select Copyright fill in the Explanation Restrictions metaproperty with a predefined text.
Note
Custom Triggers can be set up for metaproperties of the Select and Select2 type.
