We recently upgraded to MOSS, and one of my users told me she is no
longer being prompted to enter required metadata when she saves email
attachments into a library via network places. I tried it, and I'm
experiencing the same problem. Even worse- if you have a default value
for a required field, it is populating it w/ the default (w/out your
knowledge).
Why is this happening? I already am annoyed that you cannot enter
metadata when uploading multiple docs to a library, but at least that
makes a bit more sense to me. This doesn't make any sense. I don't want
to tell everyone to save files locally and then upload one at a time
just so they can add the necessary metadata...what a pain! There must
be a better way...
