Scalable Bulk Metadata Updates — Increase UI Limit or Enable File-Based Import
1) Current Limitation: The DAM/CMP Library UI restricts bulk metadata edits to a maximum of 100 assets at a time. There is also no native way to update metadata on existing assets via bulk update either through file-based import using unique asset identifiers or the UI.
Use Case: Organizations managing large catalogues (100K+ assets) need to update metadata across thousands of assets for integration triggers, seasonal updates, data corrections, or onboarding. The 100-asset cap forces repetitive manual cycles, causing UI lag, rework, and human error. Many teams also maintain metadata externally and need a way to push updates back into the DAM at scale without API or scripting workarounds.
Requested Enhancement Ideas:
1. Increase the UI bulk edit limit to at least 10,000 assets with asynchronous backend processing and a progress indicator.
2. Introduce a file-based metadata import (CSV/Excel) that matches assets by unique identifier and updates their metadata fields in bulk — no API or custom development required.
Expected Impact: Reduces metadata update time from hours to minutes, improves data accuracy, eliminates dependency on technical resources, and accelerates asset readiness for downstream integrations.
