 * This is my first post here, so hi to everyone. I have a pretty specific request
   to which I suspect there may well be no answer! I’m currently importing hundreds
   of images from my archives into NextGen galleries. In my archives, use the “headline”
   metadata field to store a piece of information I would like NextGen to import
   as a tag. At present I am copying the “headline” metadata field to the “keywords”
   metadata field in Lightroom using a plugin, but it’s not working as smoothly 
   as I had hoped. So my question… is there any way to change the metadata mapping
   in NextGen so that the “headline” field is imported as a tag? Fingers crossed
   and thanks in advance.

 * Hi [@lynkos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lynkos/),
 * Unfortunately, there’s no currently such a possibility to map the “headline” 
   metadata to “keywords” so it could populate the tags unless perhaps continuing
   to use a LR plugin for that purpose but I am assuming that you are already aware
   of that.

 * Many thanks for the rapid response. Yes, I imagined that was the case. It’s no
   big deal, just me being lazy! Have a great day.
