Overview of the Feature Request
For archives is very important to describe each file with maximum metadata as possible. Usually there are separate xml files with the metadata, which are stored together with the files, e.g. with such PREMIS blocks (and related subblocks) inside:
It would be practical to have a possibility to create custom metadata fields also on the file level, similar as custom metadata blocks on the dataset level. Currently it is possible only to use the "File Name", "File Path" and "Description" fields - what covers only partially the available metadata in the archives.
What kind of user is the feature intended for?
All users
What inspired the request?
Requirement of archives to have metadata on the file level
What existing behavior do you want changed?
Currently limited amount of metadata fields on the file level
Any brand new behavior do you want to add to Dataverse?
Possibility to add/edit custom metadata for individual files - via GUI and API. Some metadata should be not edited, e.g. size, MD5 etc (as it realized currently).
Any related open or closed issues to this feature request?
