Custom Metadata Panel doesn't synchronize

Question

We have begun using Custom Metadata Panel. I am building entry fields per the IPTC Core and Extension schema. When I add an entry to "Event" for the IPTC Extension list, it won't appear in the metadata window. However, when I add the data directly, it synchronizes back to the Custom Metadata Panel.

To simplify, it appears I'm using the correct Property Name. However, the update only happens if I add the data manually in the files Metadata window.

For reference, I added an Event field, and that updated properly in IPTC Extension. It almost seems like a cache issue. I've cleared cache in Bridge, but that didn't resolve the issue.

Any ideas about what's happening?

Is there a list of IPTC Extension namespace fields that match exactly to what's listed in Bridge?

Thanks in advance.

IPTC Ext Event is a langAlt property, so make sure you enable that in the view editor Advanced screen.

JSON should look like this:

{
id: "C58pHBqUBI",
displayName: "Event",
prefix: "Iptc4xmpExt",
namespace: "http://iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpExt/2008-02-29/",
propertyName: "Event",
type: "Text",
dependencies: [],
linkToFile: {},
readOnly: false,
multiLine: false,
altLang: [],
altLangDefault: "",
altLangEnabled: true,
disabled: false,
}

Hi Doug. CMP author here. We partnered with IPTC to include a Tab that IPTC made, so it's completely compliant with their spec, including pre-defined properties. They've included a Photo and Video version, too. Update to version 2.0.5 to get the latest.

You can now create new Tabs without loading JSON, too. See the new Tab Manager below.
