Arrays

XMP data can be stored in ordered (Sequence) or unordered (Bag) arrays. Sequences often represent data for which the order is important, such as steps in a process or values representing measurements. Bags represent values for which the order is not important.

You can choose Bag or Sequence array types for these field types: Multiple Dropdown, Multiple Text, Multiple Number, Multiple Date, Structures, and Tags. You can set the array type for a field when you create a new field, or you can modify the array for an existing field.
