Modifying a metadata template

The Edit option for each existing template on the Metadata Templates page allows you to make changes to that metadata template. You can add or remove required metadata fields, add or remove optional metadata fields, change certain information for the metadata template, or choose an existing template to be used as the default metadata template.

Portfolio requires one metadata template to be the default metadata template. If another template is already set as the default, and you specify another template as the default template, that template becomes the new default metadata template. If you are currently editing the default template, the checkbox to set the template as the default template is disabled and cannot be changed.
