Metadata name and type
When you add metadata to a metadata group resource you must specify the metadata name and type. The metadata name should be descriptive and unique, and the metadata type must conform to the type of data it is intended for – Numeric, Date, or Text.
Metadata values
You do not assign values to metadata in the metadata group. Metadata values are assigned per document type.
