What is Metadata?

Metadata is used to provide extra configuration for workflows and tasks.

Where can I use it?​

There are two places where you can use metadata, the Document and the Task.

Check each metadata for the location subheading to see where you can use each piece of metadata

Document​

The main document object has a metadata property, which allows you to configure metadata which is treated as global to the workflow.

document:
  dsl: 1.0.0
  namespace: zigflow
  name: simple-workflow
  version: 1.0.0
  metadata: {}

Task​

Each task object has a metadata property, which allows you to configure metadata on a per-task basic.

do:
  - example:
      metadata: {}
      set:
        hello: world
