Action
Create metadata instance on folder
Applies an instance of a metadata template to a folder. in most cases only values that are present in the metadata template will be accepted, except for the `global.properties` template which accepts any key-value pair. to display the metadata template in the box web app the enterprise needs to be configured to enable **cascading folder level metadata** for the user in the admin console.
