Description

« Hide

In 1.0, it appeared I could define arbitrary metadata properties per-artifact (unless I misunderstood the prior functionality). Now it seems metadata "properties" can only be defined globally by an administrator.

Yes, this is correct. In 1.0 adding a metadata property at the per artifact level was just a shortcut for adding a global property and then assigning it a value. I think we wanted to be more careful about what type of metadata people could add.

You actually still add metadata at the per-artifact level over the API, but you won't be able to assign it a description or give it a specific type. We should maybe allow this without defining a property in the UI as well.
