Customizing the files view has been announced and is coming soon! This will include viewing metadata from document libraries and lists.

We need to edit document metadata under the "file" tab in Teams.

It's so frustrating that I can get metadata displaying on the files tab in teams but if I add a seconds document library It wont show and I am unable to add a document library as a SharePoint page link.

We need the abilities to edit/add Metadata directly in the teams File tab. Its near impossible to get our users to stay in Teams when I have to direct them to SP Online to add them. They remain there and often resort to SP Online instead of teams as a result. Maximum Teams usage is the goal for us. One platform

This is critical for ensuring information managed within Teams complies with our info security and retention/disposition standards.

Editing file metadata is critical. Please ensure update includes the ability to EDIT metadata directly from Teams.

Hi Karuana,
That is great news. Do you know when this may be available generally? I have clients asking for the ability to edit metadata directly from the Files tab.

Customization of views is there today (20/8/20) but it is NOT possible to edit / set the metadata from Teams.
Please add a Properties option to the Teams file view to permit editing of metadata.
The link showing rich new file sharing experience, makes no mention of the setting or editing of metadata via a Properties menu option. This should be available both for files and folders as in SharePoint.

Migrating from Sharepoint to Teams should be a step forward with better features, not backwards where you lose metadata and tags! this is a disappointment.

I agree, we need this ASAP, we want to focus on Teams, but this is a "punch in the face" for us since the users needs to go in SPO to change metadata and they stay in it... instead of going back to Teams

Will the additional customization permit showing fields like "filesize" and "last modified date" ?

It will be helpful - if we bring in all SharePoint file operations in Teams directly (without doing it in SP every time). I could see individuals request for specific file operations in other threads.

What's the point in changing things in the "Files" tab, e.g. the "All Documents" view, then saving the view, then leaving the tab, coming back and realizing it's all as it used to be - sorted by "Modified"...?

Yes, the new files experience has launched, but it only allows viewing and filtering by metadata from within Teams. However, it seems you still have to open the library in SharePoint to actually edit the metadata. This extra step will continue to encourage users to create folders within Teams libraries instead, which leads to Ragnarok... or maybe just really annoyed Teams/SharePoint champions. Nearly there, but please complete the job!

Updating Columns / files properties is essential for our Agency Teams adoption. Can't wait for this feature to be available

The ability to edit metadata should be viewed as a priority. Many enterprises want to use Teams as their front door for document management - having to go between Teams and SPO experiences for a fully functional DMS is not a great experience.

This functionality needs to be implemented asap, I don't understand why Teams doesn't have it. It drives user adoption to the ground, the folder structure is archaic.

Another vote for this. Metadata is essential to our company and it is becoming disused because it can't be seen in Teams.

Another vote for this! Folders are so 1990's, surely we should all be using metadata instead by now. If it's not supported in all client applications then it prevents uptake, and Teams certainly seems to be Microsoft's flagship client for collaboration, so this feature is essential.
