# Job Metadata ?

This wildcard is replaced by the value of a metadata entry that can be set via the metadata menu. The name of the metadata entry serves as input. The value can only be read out if there is an entry in the database for the object in the stream (job object). It is not enough for the metadata entry to exist in FX / IO.

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