I have set up a template to create thumbnails with two line captions - first line is Metadata 1 which is set as ITPC "Headline" content, second line is Metadata 2 which is set as IPTC "Description Writer". I have this set up in BOTH Image Info and Output settings. Both show properly in the Lightroom view of the template. However, when I output to the web, the Description Writer information is not displayed (the Headline info is OK).
The template displays the following:
["perImageSetting.metadata2"] = {
enabled = true,
value = "{{com.adobe.descriptionWriter}}",
I have tried to edit that various ways (removing the capital, adding a space etc) but can not get the template to read the "Description Writer" data. Can anyone suggest how to fix this

can you provide a link to a gallery?
are you using Publisher?
did you use the proper tokens in Publisher Setup in the gallery template?

Did you add the new metadata after initially publishing images?

I am testing on a local server. I am using Publisher. Metadata is already in images. The issue is apparently finding the proper token to read the "Description Writer" data. I have tried the default entry for Gallery
[Description Writer}
I have also tried editing the template file using
descriptionwriter
DescriptionWriter
description writer
to replace the descriptionWriter that is put in the template by Gallery when one enters {Description Writer} in the Metadata 2 field of Output settings in Gallery.
None of these options leads to a read of the data field

this is what should be in one of your metadata fields (1 or 2) in Site Info:
{Description Writer»}
this is what should be in Output Settings > Publisher Settings for your metadata fiele (1 or2):
{DescriptionWriter}
I've been able to get it to work on my local test site.
If you had changed the metadata fields after publishing the images, try republishing

I finally got his to work after I reinstalled the Gallery plugin. The reinstall fixed several minor issues but still leaves at least one issue unresolved (see my other post Problems with rounded Navigation Container corners).
