Perhaps there are so many additional types of meta data a custom bin view might not see some additional meta data field. I don't know why that would be a problem just guess. Could or is there some provision for Avid to automatically create headings based on the meta data an ama linked file has? Kinda like a CSV file properly formated will display in Excel the ALE files work IIRC. Just asking to learn I don't know if this is how it work or if it is even possible.

My guess is that since AMA is basically just pointing at the media file with no additional media management layered on top, as with OMF files, that trying to assign custom data to what is essentially just an unmanaged pointer file is too tough for the system to handle. I don't know anything about how custom data is handled for OMF or AMA, so I'm just taking a stab in the dark.
