Prepopulate templates with metadata

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

It is not strictly connected with Power Automate, but I thought you may know the solution.

 

Is it possible to store templates with desired metadata, so when someone uses a particular document from a template it will be automatically tagged based on pre-existing metadata of a template? For example- I want template 'A' to have a metadata of 'DocumentType' with value 'Other' and when someone uses this template and save it under new name/title in library folder it will be assigned with 'Other' under 'DocumentType' column?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Each column in the document template has an ID, you could click peek code to find them:Screenshot 2020-12-30 144017.jpg

     

    Then, store data (key-value) you could do as below:
