How to display iXML in Metadata fields in Project Panel

I have a large number of .WAV audio files with XML metadata written into them by my Zoom F4 Audio recorder. One of which is the "Track Name". When I open the metadata panel for a clip, I see the entry, in this case "Boom" or "Lav 1" listed in the iXML Panel:

I cannot find a way to include this field in the display of metadata in the Project Panel of Premiere. Just about every other conceivable field can be inserted into that display. Is there a way to create a custom field and link this entry to it?

      Wav metadata is still a shambles on PP, right? This article is several years old but I don't think anything has changed...

        Unfortunately, they've not upgraged the metadata options in any notable way. And yes I've complained among others. So always happy to see others post on this topic.

         

        There are quite a few metadata options you can choose to display from the massive list of metadata bar options ... however, it's useless to do so. PrPro will not actually read and display the data from those fields.

         

        And when I've compained to engineers either on forums or in person at NAB, they are patient but don't see any urgency in fixing things. Which frustrates me totally.

         

        Time to push for more people to go over to their UserVoice system and post. Also, I put a rant on this on their public beta forum a few weeks back. You're most welcome to go there and post a reply!

          26 Views and no insights from the Adobe Staff Experts?

            So here is a frame grab from my project window. I created a metadata schema that included iMXL and track list. I am now trying to get the fields to populate from my files. Any metadata experts out there that might have insight?

            I think you misunderstood.  I'm not saying it isn't there by default, I'm saying it's not even an option for me to add.


            What version of Premiere are you using? The iXML panel is pretty difficult to find. If you are using 2017CC it's in there and I will be happy to show you where.
