Updating Metadata in Anypoint Studio

Is there any easy way to update the metadata within a project? I've been adding metadata so that I can define what is in the payload to make the intellisense work properly and use the 'preview' in my transform nodes. My metadata files are primarily .json files.

I have yet to find a 'good' way to update the metadata though. If I want to add a field to the json object I haven't found a good way to update it. I either have to:

  1. Remove the metadata object, re-add it with the new field, and then re-attach the metadata to all the places it's used.
  2. Edit the example files and the 'application-types' file
Solution

  • Try this:

    • Right click on your project and then select Mule > Manage Metadata types.
    • Select the Metadata type you want to refresh, press the [...] then select the example actually present in your Anypoint Studio project folder (otherwise it will create another copy of the example file).
    • At this point the application-types is automatically refreshed as well as Dataweave references.
