Viva Amplify - SharePoint Publications with Required Meta-data

When it comes to posting publications meant for one or more SharePoint sites, how does Amplify account for any required meta-data fields for those site libraries?

For instance, you may have SharePoint site with deployed content-types that require columns like 'Region' or 'Type' to be populated. These could be required on the site, and so direct authoring on the site ensures they are populated, but when pushed from Amplify it doesn't look like these are accounted for.

    Hi JakeWarren​ 

    This is a great catch! I found the same limitation when implementing Amplify for a client recently. There is no easy answer right now. You must alter metadata to a publication in the destination site. But this is a glaring gap in functionality and my presumption is that they will allow some connection of destination site metadata in the future. For now, we have to do it manually.
