Auto-assign metadata when uploading via Document Library View web part

Question

In Sharepoint Online, I have added Document Library View web parts to most pages. I have also added a metadata (column) called Page to all Document libraries.

The idea is for the Document Library View to filter the site's documents so it only shows documents belonging to the page.

So far, so good. The problem is that when uploading a new document, the metadata Page has to be filled in manually by the user.

What is the easiest way to make this happen automatically, across all pages? Should I create a custom Upload form and assign it to all Document Library View web parts?

Answer 1

You don't need to create a custom Upload form and assign it to all Document Library View web parts, you can create workflow on the document library with "Set field in current item" action.

Set Page to the value you want.

Choose start workflow automatically when an item is created.
