Extract common metadata fields from content

[lock999]

I used the action "Extract common metadata fields from content" to successfully extract and assign values to properties of custom document type.

How should the XML data be structured for categories so that multiple categories can be assigned to the document when the action "Extract common metadata fields from content" is run?

Should the categories be structured as follows:
<categories>
<category>Cat 1</category>
<category>Cat 2</category>
<category>Cat 3</category>
</categories>

Thanks

Hi,
I'm not aware of any link between the extraction of metadata and the assignment of categories.  You could extract the category names from the document structure you show, but a custom action would still be required to wire in the corresponding categories.  Perhaps I've missed something…
