# ParentMetadataMatchesRegex

When the connector creates a document to represent an attachment, it adds all of the metadata from the parent record into a document field named `SN_PARENT`. If the document is subsequently returned by a query, an application could use this information to allow users to navigate from the attachment to the parent record.

In some cases, you might not want to add all of the metadata. When you set this parameter, a metadata field from the parent record is added to the document that represents the attachment only if the field name matches one of the configured regular expressions.

Type: | List of regular expressions
Default: | .*
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks
Example: | `ParentMetadataMatchesRegex=.*MyFieldToInclude.*`
