Metadata Exception

Hi,

I created a template that I am applying to files and folders. I can add and update values for this template in files and folders but when I try to retrieve the metadata for that template I get an exception:

curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID/metadata/enterprise/TEMPLATE_NAME -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"

Error:

{"message":"Instance not found for '\"parented\", \"folder_FOLDER_ID\", \"TEMPLATE_NAME-GUI\"'","code":"instance_tuple_not_found","request_id":"############"}

I'm using the .Net SDK as well

metadata = await _boxClient.MetadataManager.GetFolderMetadataAsync(folder.Id, MetadataTemplatScope, MetadataTemplateName);

Getting the same error either for folder or files.

I have to add that for some cases it works.

I also tried with scope = "enterprise_MyEnterpriseId"

Thanks,

Good morning ,

that error indicates that the specific folder has no metadata of the type TEMPLATE_NAME-GUI added.

Have you tried to retrieve ALL the metadata for that specific folder by removing the specific template?

https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID/metadata

There you will see ALL the templates associated to that folder. If the result is empy that means that the folder does not have any associated template.

Thanks
