how can i set a metadata with a variable

[Jörn5F90]

Hello together,

i need help, I want to set Metadata with a variable ITPC Scene Code.

I have this code, but I don't know to get the variable in the code.

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
FT = MenuElement.create("command", "Add Web Scene Code to Scene Code", "at the end of Tools");
}
FT.onSelect = function () {
AddWebSceneToSceneCode();
}

function AddWebSceneToSceneCode(){
var thumbs = app.document.selections;
if(!thumbs.length) return;
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new
ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
for(var a in thumbs){
var selectedFile = thumbs[a].spec;
//var WebSceneCode = decodeURI(selectedFile.name)//.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '')//([0-9/[-]*/.jpg/]*) nur name
var WebSceneCode="12345"
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN,
XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
myXmp.deleteProperty(NS_IPTC_CORE, "Iptc4xmpCore:Scene");
myXmp.appendArrayItem(NS_IPTC_CORE, "Iptc4xmpCore:Scene", WebSceneCode, 0,
XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT);
myXmp.setQualifier(XNS_IPTC_CORE, "Iptc4xmpCore:Scene"[1]",
"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");
if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
}
}
}

How I get the var WebSceneCode="12345" in the code, for working.

Thank you for your help.

This script has the same problem as your other one... Iptc4xmpCore:Scene is a bag array, not langAlt.

What indicates that this script is langAlt?

XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT

myXmp.setQualifier(XNS_IPTC_CORE, "Iptc4xmpCore:Scene"[1]",
"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");

Also, the namespace is wrong. NS_IPTC_CORE

It should be XMPConst.NS_IPTC_CORE
