    Is "foo" already a metadata attribute on the file or is something you are adding. If you are adding it, the Github code should work. If you are updating the attribute, then you have to do file.updateMetadata(file.getMetadata().replace("/foo", "bar")) as shown here.

    Thanks for your feedback.


    The problem was that I used the displayed name as path.

    If i log in, in the Box web app I see 'retentie' diplayed as metadata attribute.
    The attribute has another name as id 'retentieConversion'.

     

    Problem solved!
