Hi,

That associated content on document details page is shown with form control "association.ftl".

Either you can customize OR create own custom form to render on document details and then custom form control similar to association.ftl.

And you can provide edit metadata link to those content from javascript control file which is called from above ftl file, "object-finder.js".

And you can open popup similar to edit metadata document library action.

Let me know if you need more details.

Hope this helps.

Yes, for that you will have to customize loadSelctedItems() method of your custom object-finder.js file.

You will have to call webscripts for all the children / OR else you can write your own custom webscript to fetch grand children at one go and this can be called from above custom js file.

If you write custom webscript, make sure you generate same response as OOTB webscript which is used to fetch associated children.

Hope this helps.
