Custom Metadata columns break when switching view presets.

Community Beginner ,
Mar 10, 2024 Mar 10, 2024

Steps:

1 - Using the Metadata Display window, I create a few custom metadata columns within the "Premiere Pro Project Metadata" schema by clicking "Add Property," naming them [for example, VIZ, DIA, GENRE, YEAR, etc...] and choosing "Text" as the type. I've also created my own schema, and added properties to it, but the result, in the end, is the same.
2 - I select the properties I wanna see, including the ones I just created, and deselect the ones I don't wanna see, and hit "ok."
3 - I arrange and resize the columns to my liking.
4 - I click "Save As New View Preset," give it a name, and assign it a custom keyboard shortcut. 
5 - I repeat steps 1-4 to create a second and 3rd view preset using different properties.
6 - With a project open, I click the keyboard shortcut to enable view preset 1. All good. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can switch to my second view preset without it breaking. However, it always falls apart when attempting to go back to a previous view.  The tables break and the UI soils the bed [within the project window]. There is text behind the form-fields and everything goes up in smoke. The only fix is to close the project and open it back up. This resets the UI and loads the last used view preset - which looks as it should.

Attachments include view presets 1 and 2. The 3rd and 4th pic show what happens when I switch between views. I'll add that I have no idea what the relationship between custom view presets and custom Meta Display settings is but it hurts my head trying to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @Remote Index,

I could not reproduce the issue, however, maybe I am not understanding it well enough. Sorry about that.

 

Are you still seeing the problem? If so, Could you provide more info about it (like a screenshot?) That would be appreciated! The team prefers this format:  How do I write a bug report?

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for filing the bug report. I can see this happening on macOS, as well. I will alert the team. Sorry for the frustration.

Text entries into custom metadata fields are recorded in history as "set property", however the undo function does not actually undo (or otherwise affect) the data.

Kevin, thanks for follow up.

 

 

Adobe Premiere Pro 23.2.0 (Build 69)
macOS v13.6.4

 

SET-UP

right click on browser headings
Metadata Display … brings up dialog
“Add Property” (in Premiere Pro Project Metadata)
Name and choose type “text” (I haven’t tried other types … but you should).

 

THEN (back in the browser panel/window)

Enter some text in this field (you should be able to do so for folders, clips, or sequences)
You will see in the History panel that a “set property” action has been added
command Z and you will see the history indication ‘rolls back’ one step … but the text is not deleted or otherwise changed
… further the investigation with variations on this.

 

BONUS ROUND
Why doesn’t Adobe give me a cursor when I’m entering text? This seems like a basic interface requirement ...

I've been experiencing this problem for multiple previous versions.  No one at Adobe has been able to fix it.  

I'm sorry your'e having this problem but I'm thrilled I'm not the only one dealing with this.

I'd love to be able to use these features.

Making the same experiences still in v 25.6.2 and a lot of lagging when using metadata fields with text boxes. As soon as the text boxes are on screen, it starts lagging a lot.

That's why I never really started using metadata in Premiere (when it comes to the project panel)
