Updating metadata fields, LOV or LOV values

XML setup structures can be designed for modifying existing fields, List of Values (LOV) or LOV values in the Content Manager database.

About this task

Be sure to know the name of
  • the element you want to update;
  • the element containing the element you want to update.

Updates use a simpler structure than creation of fields, LOVs and LOV values: The XML only needs to specify the attributes or child elements you want to modify. The following example describes the update to make a string field multi-value.

Procedure

  1. Find the names of the affected elements.
  2. Prepare the structure:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <setup version="2.0">
      <fields>
        <field element="FEXAMPLESTRING">
          <typestring ismultivalue="true" />
        </field>
      </fields>
    </setup>
