Hey, looking to figure out how to enable the the metadata edit fields in the Dashboard react component.

I see that the Dashboard component accepts all props from @uppy/dashboard options, so I have passed a couple of values for `metaFields`, but I only see the “Link” option when the file successfully uploads. What am i missing here?

```auto
   <DashboardComponent
          uppy={this.uppy}
          inline={true}
          metaFields={
            [
              { id: 'name', name: 'Name', placeholder: 'file name' },
              { id: 'caption', name: 'Caption', placeholder: 'describe what the image is about' }
            ]
          }
        />

```

Hey! This is an old post, so it might have just been a bug that’s been resolved, but I’ll still try to help.

First of all, the `inline` attribute is not necessary, as if you are using the `Dashboard` component, it is going to be inline no matter what.

I’d assume the issue with the `metaFields` was, just a bug. I don’t see anything that you’ve done wrong. By now, over a year later, I’m pretty sure that this should be resolved.

It appears that the issue that was created for this problem was closed ([https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/1525](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/1525)).

Best wishes
