Editing Metadata

The Content UI allows addition and editing of custom object metadata directly in the UI, unless the object is immutable (see Understanding Unnamed Objects). While applications can also add and change object metadata, this interface allows correction and extension of metadata for a given object from the convenience of a browser. If an editable metadata field (such as x-acme-meta-color) exists for the object, it appears in the object's detail view, and you can change its the value (red to blue) can be changed or remove it removed entirely. (v5.4.0)

Versioning

Metadata for the current version of the object is edited if versioning is enabled for the object's domain or bucket. One new version is created if several changes are made to the metadata and saved. Another version is created, with both sets of metadata if another metadata change is made and saved.

The Content UI only exposes metadata that has been created by your the organization or is otherwise appropriate for you to change.

  • Fields that are system-controlled or generated by the request are not editable. The ETag (entity tag) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify the object on the Internet, and it must not be altered by hand.

  • Custom metadata names are protected from overwriting. You can update Update the Value of an existing header, but if you update the Name is updated, a new header is appended to the object and the original entry is preserved. To replace an existing header, create a new one with the correct name and value and delete the old one.
