Metadata cascade policies

Force-apply metadata cascade policy to folder

Force the metadata on a folder with a metadata cascade policy to be applied to all of its children. This can be used after creating a new cascade policy to enforce the metadata to be cascaded down to all existing files within that folder.

post/metadata_cascade_policies/{metadata_cascade_policy_id}/apply

Path parameters

metadata_cascade_policy_idstring required

The ID of the cascade policy to force-apply.

Request body

conflict_resolution'none' | 'overwrite' required

Describes the desired behavior when dealing with the conflict where a metadata template already has an instance applied to a child.

  • none will preserve the existing value on the file
  • overwrite will force-apply the templates values over any existing values.

Example request

{
  "conflict_resolution": "none"
}

Response

Returns an empty response when the API call was successful. The metadata cascade operation will be performed asynchronously.

The API call will return directly, before the cascade operation is complete. There is currently no API to check for the status of this operation.
