I am trying to Upload file in Document Library with its meta-data like file name using REST API.

I have also created custom lookup column there in document library. now I also want add data in that lookup column.

How Can I achieve this. Is this possible to add this all in one request?

Any help Greatly Appreciated.

  • You can not do that in one request. In the first request upload file and in the 2nd request update metadata. Aug 1, 2016 at 7:31

I hope this helps, one-by-one you can just use the "Upload" button on the ribbon or multiple upload button. This will keep metadata if it is already in the XML at the bottom of the file(open in notepad). If you want to just assign it then maybe the following links can help. I am currently trying to figure out how to do what I just described in powershell so let me know if you figure that out :)

How to set lookup fields and all others via powershell is in here. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20831.sharepoint-a-complete-guide-to-getting-and-setting-fields-using-powershell.aspx

Here is a link to some arguably incomplete documentation. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.aspx
