You can use a quick Enforcement Action to add custom fields to all assets returned by a query.

5. In the Field value text box, type a value for the field.

6. To have this field removed from assets that do not match the query parameters, select Remove this custom data field from entities not found in the query results (True/False), and then select one of the following options that open:

   • Remove entire field - Remove the complete custom field.
   • Remove values field - Remove values added to the custom field.

   A safeguard is displayed. Click Confirm if you want to continue.

7. To run this Enforcement Set on a schedule, toggle on Select a Schedule Plan and configure the schedule you want. To learn more about running Enforcement Sets on a schedule, see Scheduling Enforcement Set Runs.
