A MetadataCategory defines a reusable set of Custom Metadata rules that can be assigned to folders
via a folder behavior. Each category specifies named metadata keys with optional allowed-value
constraints, and a set of default columns to display in the UI.
If a key’s allowedValues array is empty, it is treated as a free-form text field.
If the array is non-empty, the key is constrained to those values in the Web UI.
Example Usage
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as filescom from "pulumi-filescom";
const exampleMetadataCategory = new filescom.MetadataCategory("example_metadata_category", {
name: "Approval Workflow",
defaultColumns: ["Approval Status"],
});
import pulumi
import pulumi_filescom as filescom
example_metadata_category = filescom.MetadataCategory("example_metadata_category",
name="Approval Workflow",
default_columns=["Approval Status"])
package main

Create MetadataCategory Resource
Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.
Constructor syntax
