You can only update the name of a metadata field definition or the accepted values for Single select or Multi-select field types. To update them:
  1. Select an asset. A side panel appears on the right.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Add the metadata field you want to update. The selected field appears under the Custom section.
  4. On the right side of the selected metadata field, select the more (...) menu.
  5. Select Edit field.
  6. Update the name or accepted values for Single select and Multi-select metadata types only.
Your updated name or values appear in the Info tab.
Note
When you update a metadata field definition, it doesn't create a new asset version.
