Applicable to environments where automatic tagging is observed on asset upload.
Issue/Symptoms
Newly uploaded assets are automatically tagged with specific standard tags, such as Orientation, without user intervention. This behavior can interfere with existing metadata management practices by introducing unexpected tags into the system.
The issue arises from an automated process that applies these tags upon asset upload, and you must disable this feature if it doesn’t align with your workflow requirements.

Verification:

- Implement post-processing workflows if selective removal or retention of certain tags is required for specific assets after re-enabling.
By following these steps, you can manage and control how metadata is applied during asset uploads within AEM as a Cloud Service – Assets environment effectively.
