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),
    };

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.

      We don't have a separate public feature request tracker for the API. This forum thread serves as the reference for this request and I'll follow up here if/when I have any news on it.

        Any update on custom metadata for team-owner folders?
