# Project Metadata ?

This wildcard is substituted with the value of a [metadata](/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/helmutfx/metadata.md) entry that has been created or assigned through the metadata menu.

The input for this substitution is the name of the metadata entry. The value can be retrieved only if there is a corresponding entry in the database for the project object.

It is insufficient for the metadata entry to merely exist in FX; it will return "null" if there is no value or key associated with it.

The wildcard is used in the following way:

* {project.metadata.?}
* For the following input (?) --> MyMetadataName
* The output is going to be --> MetadataValue
