# Update assets' metadata

Edit the metadata of a set of Assets by the specified assets selector.  

Use the BY_IDS selector to edit a specific list of Asset.ids, or the BY_CRITERION selector to edit a search criterion, e.g. all Assets in a specific folder.  See AssetSearch for more detail on the available criterion.

metadataFieldValueUpdates also has two types of objects that can be used.  For example, a FieldOption with a value of "My Option" and an id of "3ba2cb5b-dbe9-48ed-8e07-71f26929e617" can be set either BY_VALUES by using the value "My Option", or BY_IDS by using the id "3ba2cb5b-dbe9-48ed-8e07-71f26929e617".  For Fields that do not have FieldOptions (e.g. text fields), either type can be used.
