Ready to post? 🔍 First, try searching for your answer.  
Hello, I have an application with metadata key “test” and value {“title”:“New here?”} and i am trying to render the title value inside a Page template. I have tried belo code but this doesn’t work.

```auto
  <body class="_widget-auto-layout">
    {%- auth0:widget -%}
  
    {% assign foo = application.metadata.test | json %}
    {% assign bar = foo.title %}
    {{ bar}}
  </body>

```

I have also tried `{% assign foo = application.metadata.test.title | json %}` and `{% assign bar = foo.title | json %}` but nothing works.

Hi @ruchika.kumar

Welcome back to the Auth0 Community!

I would recommend to review this documentation about [Application Metadata](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/applications/configure-application-metadata).

The application metadata set would be accessed as `client.metadata`, in your case it would be `client.metadata.test`.

Let me know if that helps you solve the issue!

Kind Regards,  
Nik

Hi @nik.baleca,  
Thanks for your response. I am following these docs [https://auth0.com/docs/customize/login-pages/universal-login/customize-templates#page-footers](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/login-pages/universal-login/customize-templates#page-footers)

I also tried your recommendation but that doesn’t work… If you see in the screenshot, I get the values using `application.metadata` but not `client.metadata`.  
I would like to further render the value of `application.metadata.test` (type json) in my Page template which I am struggling with.

Hi @ruchika.kumar

Unfortunately, application metadata (or client metadata) value cannot contain child attributes or have values under JSON format, unlike app\_metadata or user\_metadata. Even when updating the client metadata using the Management API, the outcome will be an error 400 since the expected format is **String** not **JSON**.  
I would advise you to visit our [Feedback](https://community.auth0.com/c/feedback/95) page and post regarding implementing this feature.

Kind Regads,  
Nik
