 * Is there any problem with adding metadata to a gallery? I know I can’t do that
   on the gallery edit form, but perhaps do it in php script.
 * I want to add a “unique-id” field that takes a uuid/guid. Then I might be able
   to search for galleries based on a guid and not the gallery name.

 * Hi [@parisology](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parisology/)
 * Currently, there’s no option of adding such metadata to a gallery that can be
   used to identify it when searched for instead of using the gallery name.
 * We haven’t tried it out so I cannot advise you on if it’ll work or not, but you
   could try it on your end and let us know how it goes!
 * Kind regards,
    Elvis.
