Properties Set tool

The Properties Set tool writes a fixed set of key-value properties onto blocks. Properties are metadata that travel with a block and can influence downstream tools and writers. Use it to tag content — for example marking a set of blocks with a workflow status or a routing hint.

At least one property must be configured. By default the tool overwrites existing properties with the same key and applies only to translatable blocks.

Examples

Tag blocks with a status

Set a workflow property on every translatable block.

Add metadata without overwriting

Only add a key when the block does not already have it.

properties:
  origin: import
overwrite: false
