    providing, by the user computer system, an interface that requests a value for the metadata field for a first file of the plurality of files to be uploaded to the content management system, wherein;

    the interface provides an apply-to-all option for the value of the metadata field to be applied to each file of the plurality of files; and

    providing, by the user computer system, the value of the metadata field for each file of the plurality of files to the content management system, wherein;

    the user computer system provides the value in response to a separate metadata request received from the content management system for each file of the plurality of files; and
