Hi, Thanks for your answer….this is a very risky approach ☺ and I rather not use it unless all else fails…luckily it seems that the REST API is suitable!

Cooked a quick python script for that (https://gist.github.com/tkardi/97ef9bc6b0cde411bfb85feccdb9b7ed). It will not suite your exact needs but most probably as a general idea it would still hold. The very fine print in bold letters: Do pay attention: this approach is an absolutely sure way of messing up the whole datastore - that is basically breaking all your geoserver services. So caution is advised (and a backup of your data dir). The REST API solution would be the correct solution here but if all else fails and you feel like walking on the edge then ... :) All the best, (and sorry for the bad advice) Tõnis -- @tkardi Kontakt Bar-On, Itay (<itay.ba...@vlaardingen.nl<mailto:itay.ba...@vlaardingen.nl>>) kirjutas kuupäeval E, 3. juuni 2019 kell 14:37: Hi there, I am currently searchning for a way to update ca. 280 layers with new keywords. The reason I would like to do this is to be able to harvest the getcapabilities documents of the services and set up a services catalog. After googling it for a while and searching the users group the only post that comes anywhere near is from 2011: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/automating-layer-metadata-update-td3790274.html Naturally the obvious choice would be to use the REST API to update the layer using the /layers/{layerName} endpoint with a POST, but I am not sure if this is possible for keywords. Does anybody have any experiance with this endpoint ? and can share some wisdom on how to update layers keywords via the REST API (if at all possible…) If the REST API endpoint is not a possibility is there maybe another way I can do it programmatically?
