Hi,

I would like to add additional custom metadata fields to gallery images. Currently it appears that only “Title” is supported and I would like to add more. E.g. Description, orientation etc…

Do you mean global available asset metadata? Then:

Copy the file `cp-assets.tag` ([source](https://github.com/agentejo/cockpit/blob/next/modules/Cockpit/assets/components/cp-assets.tag)) into `/config/tags` and modfiy it.

If you copy and paste some sample code:

> <https://github.com/agentejo/cockpit/blob/next/modules/Cockpit/assets/components/cp-assets.tag#L641-L649>

you can add your custom fields.

```auto
<div class="uk-form-row">
    <label class="uk-text-small uk-text-bold">{ App.i18n.get('Orientation') }</label>
    <input class="uk-width-1-1" type="text" bind="asset.orientation">
</div>

```

Elseif you want to add a more meta data to the gallery field, you can add more meta fields in the field options:

```json
{
    "meta": {
        "title": {
            "type": "text",
            "label": "Title"
        },
        "title": {
            "orientation": "text",
            "label": "Orientation"
        }
    }
}

```

Add the meta field definitions to the options of your gallery field:

When you edit an entry, hover over the gallery image
