Add custom metadata to folder

I see you can add properties to a file, is there anything availble for folders?

    Sorry, sorted this. Should be 

     

    List<PropertyFieldTemplate> p = new List<PropertyFieldTemplate>(){
    new PropertyFieldTemplate("FieldName", "FieldDesc", String.Instance),
    };

    The /2/file_properties/properties/add endpoint can be used to add properties to folders, but only for user-owned templates. It doesn't support adding properties to folders for team-owned templates.

    If you do want to use team-owned templates for this, let me know and I'll pass this along as a feature request.

      Hi Greg,

      Thanks for getting back to me. I'm currently trying to create a Template using the NET SDK .FileProperties.TemplatesAddForTeamAsync

      How do you set the property type? I'm using the following

      List<PropertyFieldTemplate> p = new List<PropertyFieldTemplate>(){
      new PropertyFieldTemplate("FieldName", "FieldDesc", new PropertyType().AsString),
      };

      When I use new PropertyType().AsString it returns null. Not sure how I should set this. Thanks

        I'm glad to see you already sorted this out.

        I also see that you are using team-owned templates, so I'll send this along as a feature request for support for setting properties for team-owned templates on folders in addition to files.
