Custom Properties

Place this app in nextcloud/apps/customproperties

Usage

DAV's PROPPATCH request type allows adding custom properties to items. Since custom properties are not accessible via the frontend, this plugin will list all properties of an item in the sidebar. The plugin allows to define "well-known" properties in the admin settings which are presented as input fields in the "properties" tab in files app sidebar. Changing the property in the tab will also change the DAV property and hence it will be possible to access the properties via DAV call PROPFIND.

API

It is also possible to manage properties via Rest API (admin privileges required):

PUT /index.php/apps/customproperties/customproperties Create new property
POST /index.php/apps/customproperties/customproperties Update property
