**METADATA TEMPLATES REFERENCING PHASE1**


### [CD-10748] Metadata Template - title properties

1. [BE] Metadata template preview does not return title properties for {{entity.parent.parent.parent.name}} (3) and more.
Returns data for {{entity.parent.parent.name}} (2) and lower.
Also, properties are returned, in Jobs, even for: {{entity.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.name}} (13)

- [ ] DEV
- [x] QA - check comments - was not in scope for this phase, **no action item**

6. [[CD-10953](https://ateliere.atlassian.net/browse/CD-10953)] When a job has both **Errors** and **Warnings** the **Fix** button appears for both sections.
However, as soon as the **Errors** are fixed, the button disappears from the **Warning** section as well.
If the job has only **Warnings** then the button doesn't appear at all.

Fix is present-both **Errors** and **Warnings** are present:

Fix is missing-only **Warnings** are present:

7. **( [[CD-10959](https://ateliere.atlassian.net/browse/CD-10959)] )** When there's an issue with a metadata attribute that can be fixed but another (unfixable) one is also present, both are in the same group and the **Fix** button is present.
However, the **Fix modal** can only fix the issues from the title set in the job thus only one validation error remains when it is opened, potentially misleading the operator.

**In this example, the unfixable error is about the attribute value missing from the referenced title.**

What the operator sees in the job (2 errors for 2 different titles):

What the operator sees in the **Fix modal** (1 error from the job's title):
![](https://i.imgur.com/2QKIzoE.png)

After fixing the issue from the current title, the **Fix** button disappears and the error from the referenced title remains:

### [CD-10751] [QA] Metadata Templates - NTP deliverables references

#### Observations:
1. Cannot use **.designations** when extracting information from an NTP output as no tags can be set on the outputs themselves.
i.e. Cannot test the following **package.deliverables['transcode1'].outputs['output1'][0].designations**
- Comment: to be added in Confluence as a limitation, **no action item.**
2. Cannot use **.userProperties** when extracting information from an NTP output as no user properties can be set on the outputs themselves.
i.e. Cannot test the following **package.deliverables['transcode1'].outputs['output1'][0].userProperties.**
- Comment: to be added in Confluence as a limitation, **no action item.**
#### Issues:

1. NTP Meta templates do not generate any values when using **{{package.deliverables['transcode1'].outputs['output1'][0].tracks}}**

Package template used: https://connect.char.ownzones.dev/char-org/package-templates/6f318099-f4d8-467d-849c-e6c3e6243083

Note: It works when using the alternative method with **{{package.deliverables['transcode1'].outputs['output1'][0].properties.streams}}**
![](https://i.imgur.com/bC8t613.png)

![](https://i.imgur.com/42RctiV.png)

- [x] BE - **future improvement**
- [x] QA

2. An older issue affects the generation of deliverable file ID's when no additional properties are indicated. https://ateliere.atlassian.net/browse/CD-10725
i.e. Using **{{package.deliverables['transcode1'].outputs['output1'][0]}}** generates **[object Object]** as an output instead of the file ID.
**- Comment: not an issue.**

3. Regarding the replacement of the **{{title.name}}** with **{{entity.name}}** this affects the metadata/package templates but not the NTP as well.
In the NTP the operator stil needs to use **{# title.name #}** and it works fine. 
Trying to replace **title** with **entity** in the NTP will generate a validation error when attempting to create a job.
- **Comment: this will be covered in Phase 2.**

![](https://i.imgur.com/IF8ltjs.png)

![](https://i.imgur.com/ShO1OeB.png)

However, when using the older one, with **title** it works fine.

- [ ] BE
- [x] QA - to be checked in phase 2

4. Using liquidJS logic extract some parameters and use them further with a custom variable generated a validation issue in the Job: **Unable to resolve the remaining syntax file1definition**

![](https://i.imgur.com/NX9JPiv.png)

For example, the operator used **file1definition** variable for a custom logic:
![](https://i.imgur.com/fA3wTes.png)

This works fine when used in the job as it produces the following:

- [x] QA

5. Can we, please, rephrase the hierarchy validation message due to spelling mistakes?
Currently it appears as **The following title(s) do not have a parent in its hierarchy**
The spelling is incorrect and it should appear either as: 
a) The following title(s) does not have a parent in its hierarchy
or
b) The following title(s) do not have a parent in their hierarchy

- [x] QA

6. Using the .properties.streams syntax makes the array output appear as a string of objects.

Input string: **package.deliverables['transcode1'].outputs['output1'][0].properties.streams**
Output:
**[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]**

### [CD-10752][QA] Package Templates | deliverable name format - general properties

#### Issues:
1. When indicating the **locatorUrl** and **mimetype** additional properties in a deliverable name format, the following happens:
a) Everything that was hardcoded before (free text) is ignored
b) Everything that was hardcoded after (free text) is maintained
c) The value extracted doesn't match the value that is extracted in the metadata template

i.e. 
Using either 
Name format: Tag_locator_{{entity.tags['Video_deliv_attributes']['locatorUrl']}}.mov

or
Name formatTag_locator_{{entity.tags['Video_deliv_attributes']['mimetype']}}.mov
![](https://i.imgur.com/JITSf6x.png)

Will result in:
![](https://i.imgur.com/sWxeK4I.png)

If the same strings are used in a metadata template, the output is the following (71=mimetype and 72=locatorUrl):

- will not be done, the edge case to be documented in Confluence.
https://ateliere.atlassian.net/browse/CD-10907
- [x] QA

2. Using a referenced attribute for a deliverable name doesn't extract it at all.
I.e. Name format: Global_ref_{{entity.attributes['global’][‘Ref_global’].attributes['global’][‘String_global’]}}.jpg

![](https://i.imgur.com/PyXy9Rl.png)

Makes the file look like this:
![](https://i.imgur.com/Cr0W8kt.png)

However, it works fine in a metadata template:
![](https://i.imgur.com/4Z6BNP5.png)

Job example: https://connect.char.ownzones.dev/char-org/jobs/185ba4d7-c9a1-4d11-9e72-181227e8ad6d
Package template example: https://connect.char.ownzones.dev/char-org/package-templates/93f241f6-b9c5-4fbe-a3fe-58d4637fad55
- [x] BE - In this job, {{entity.attributes['global’][‘Ref_global’].attributes['global’][‘String_global’]}} is not a valid reference. The title referenced 'Native meta file output test - Teddy (Meta templates checks)' is https://connect.char.ownzones.dev/char-org/titles/41310624-0bd1-4279-a9a6-ca920a526779?tab=metadataSets
It does not have an attribute named String_global, globally.
It works fine in the metadata template because there are valid references, e.g. {{entity.attributes['global']['Ref_global'].attributes['global']['Native_test']}} -> Title 'Native meta file output test - Teddy (Meta templates checks)' have an attribute named Native_test, globally.
I tested with a File Deliverable Name Format 'Global_ref_{{entity.attributes['global']['Ref_global'].attributes['global']['Native_test']}}.jpg' and works fine.
- [x] QA - indeed

3. Attempting to use {{title.slug}} in a deliverable name format doesn't extract any information from the title.
It works when used in the package naming convention, from the organisation's settings though.

Package template:

[CD-10928][BE] 'slug' title property is not working in templates
- [x] DEV - **JIRA ticket on BE, CD-10928 in Ready for merge**
Deployed on Char. Now {{entity.slug}}, {{entity.parent.slug}}, etc, is working in templates (both metadata templates and package templates -> deliverable name format)
- [x] QA


#### General issue:
1. When an incorrect or unsupported syntax is used, the validation message returns that variable with a comma instead of a stop sign (if present).
i.e. Using **{{punct.nu.virgula}}** in the template returns the validation message specifying **Unable to resolve the remaining syntax: punct,nu,virgula**

The Warning shows:
![](https://i.imgur.com/IKU1Q4r.png)

The package template contains:
![](https://i.imgur.com/NJX7B5s.png)

Due to these commas replacing the stop signs, the operator can copy the error and search for it in the template, ending with nothing found as the presented string was altered from what the operator actually used.
