You need to override alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/documentlibrary/item.lib.ftl within the Repository webapp (/alfresco) to return your custom metadata.

Thanks Mike.

I did the change in the file specfied as below but I got value as undefined.

"application":"${node.properties.application!""}",‍

And I have gotten error message when I was trying to include the URI path to the custom metadata.

Any help would be highly beneficial for me.

Yes, that won't work as only a few properties are exposed as public getters in ScriptNode.class.

Try

node.properties["foo:bar"]‍

Remember to convert to string (if appropriate) and add null handling for Freemarker.

Thanks,
