Can ‘custom’ metadata not be embedded with the asset when it is downloaded?

Hi @reddyishanvi,

It is not possible to control which metadata will be embedded in asset during download process. What you can try to do is to control it overall. So, in other words you can define which properties/namespaces will be ignored during XMP writeback process.

You can find all required information under Adobe documentation:
