I'm also wondering if there's a solution to this problem. I need to show the count of current tags for a search filter, and my users are only going to have access to a tags form value, not to the metadata tab.

Hello,

I would recommend you to create duplicate fields to your document type, I mean document title field, document keywords field and document description field. Editor will fill them on the Form tab and you'll save them on button click to the document metadata fields using our API. This can be done in the ~\CMSModules\Content\CMSDesk\Edit\Edit.aspx.cs file. Please focus on the SaveDocument method.

Hope this sheds some light.

Hello,

I was thinking about it a bit more and I found the easiest solution as to specify the macros within the Metadata tab, so that the meta data are filled in automatically - according to fields of the current blog post.

You can use following macros:

Page title: {%documentname%}
Page description: {%StripTags(blogpostsummary)%}
Page keywords: {%documenttags%}

I just wanted to point this out, maybe it can suit your needs.

Best regards
