For Bins (Folders), the metadata fields can't be written to (ie. Description, Log Note, etc.) either in the generic fields or in saved metadata templates.

 

Sequences: Metadata fields are writable.

Media Files: Metadata fields are writable

This is how I get around that seemingly silly limitation, as it sure is useful to be able to add comments or a note about a bin.
