Bulk edit metadata properties for an asset and bulk untag assets

Question

Hello Community,

I have a requirement to bulk remove custom metadata properties (single-valued) for assets including removal of custom tags for bulk assets in AEM 6.5

I know that there is no OOTB means to bulk remove the properties.

Can anyone suggest what is the next best approach to deal this?

Thank you for your support.

@smrithi_govind Please try the following custom methods to achieve this request:

Create groovy script - here you can find an example that in general will do what you need - you will of course have to adjust properties/metadata that you would like to remove - https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-asset-metadata-delete/...
You will be able to get similar results using on deploy scripts - https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/on-deploy-scripts/index.html
An extension for ACS Commons Manage Control Process - here is detailed description what should be done to use it for bulk deletion of properties/metadata - https://kiransg.com/2021/12/10/bulk-add-update-and-delete-properties-in-aem-without-using-groovy-con...

Hope this helps.
