Can't update metadata

[sergiiF]

While trying to update metadata I got 500 response. http://pastebin.com/k9kPuYdS Is it possible to update metadata not just field by field?

Also Is it possible to delete metadata/repo? It throw 500 error with 'Not supported' when I try to delete metadata, and just ignore (returns 200 but repo is not deleted) when try to delete repo

Hi, sergiiF

Thank you for your input! Update metadata api only support add metafield to metadata, not supporting changing existing metafield. If you want to change multiple fields, I suggest you to delete and recreate the metadata.

For now we support delete metadata api, not support delete repo api. You could give the api detail so I can take a look why it's throwing 500 error.

Thanks & Regards Al Zhang

I was slightly wrong. Delete returns 400 error, with a reason message only in stack trace. Looks that I need to enable metaclass deletion. Will try to figure out how to do this. (.venv)sergii$ curl -X delete http://10.119.160.164:9090/cms/repositories/Assets/metadata/Server {"status":{"code":"400","msg":"exception while delete metaclass","stackTrace":"com.ebay.cloud.cms.sysmgmt.exception.NotSupportOperationException: Delete metadata not enabled!\n\tat com

By default, delete metadata is not allowed. To do this, you need to add a config item in config {"MetadataDelete":true}

you can check config info under page /cms/config Use post to add a allow MetadataDelete item. Thanks.
