Metadata about kitsu HOT 17 CLOSED

There is a field for that at the entity level on the server side. But currently there is no way to take advantage of it in Kitsu. Four studios asked me for that one, so I guess it's something interesting to add to Kitsu.

TNZPV studio ordered a similar feature. It should be implemented this month. We'll inform you when it will be released.

This feature is now available for shots and assets in the last version of Kitsu.

Is it possible to have metadata on projects?

from kitsu.

Not for the moment. What kind of metadata you want on projects?

from kitsu.

A JSON serialized string would be good.

Its to store what applications and versions to use on a project among other things.

from kitsu.

What about having a dedicated UI that lists available software for the studio and for the project?

from kitsu.

We already have that with Avalon, and it's toml files and application actions.

The idea was for coordinators and supervisors to choose what software versions are locked down on a project and store that data in Kitsu, so other users' launcher will reference that when displaying applications to use.

Is a project just another entity where you can store the metadata on?
Since we will be needing to reference the Avalon applications available, we will probably need a custom UI for when supervisors locked down application versions.

This issue seems to be fixed:

Feel free to reopen the issue if I'm wrong.

The free data column for project, certainly fixes the issue with being able to add any metadata.

The issue would be how someone like a supervisor or manager could edit that data without needing to code. For now we could probably make a custom action for this, but maybe in the future and json editor for metadata would be good for non-coding edits.

from kitsu.

I think that supervisors can modify this data.

Sorry, did I miss something in Kitsu where you can modify this json data without coding?

from kitsu.

Yes you can create metadata columns in the asset and shot lists to access them.

from kitsu.

But it's not possible for sequences and episodes.

from kitsu.

But it's not possible for sequences and episodes.

Or projects.

Specifically for Avalon there are project based configurations like which applications to use, that a supervisor needs to access.
Maybe the metadata could be exposed in Kitsy with a json editor somehow?
Again we can probably solve this with a custom action for now.

from kitsu.

Ok sorry, I missed "the project" part of your comment. We are overwhelmed by feature requests, but we'll keep the json editor id in mind.

Thanks @frankrousseau !
