Need information on SharePoint Metadata fields

Hi all,
I'm needing some information regarding specific metadata available in SharePoint files/documents. Vti_replid, vti_rtag... etc
I've gone through the protocol documentation but was unable to locate specific information about these fields.
Thanks

Hi @MDev-5671 ,

Thanks for your question. To help me better answer you, where did you find the vti_replid, vti_rtag etc. metadata tags? Is this from a ULS log? Also, what kind of request was being made? Was it fsshttp?

Best regards,

Hi @MDev-5671 ,

In addition to my previous question could I also ask, what specifically do you need the metadata information for? What kind of app are you implementing?

Thanks!

Hi @MikeBowen-1599 ,

I'm dumping all of the metadata/properties from a document using Powershell (Server Object Model). Trying to get an understanding of what some of these properties are actually pointing to.

Thanks

Hi @mdev-5671 ,

Thanks for the update. Could you also explain, what type of application are you working on that requires this metadata? And how does it work with the SharePoint files you read the metadata from?

Best,

Michael

Hi @mdev-5671

The metadata tags such as vti_replid and vti_rtag that are not described in the documentation are not necessary for interoperability. Your tool only needs to preserve them on write to successfully interoperate with SharePoint. If you find that you do need those fields to interoperate with SharePoint or they’re needed for your tool to function, please provide the specific fields needed and an explanation as to why these are needed, and we will work to define them.

For more information about how SharePoint handles metadata and which metakeys are documented, please see MS-FPSE 2.2.4.
