Is there a way as admin have a default metadata skeleton to prompt users to fill out when publishing or creating a layer, map, webapp, etc in ArcGIS Portal?

Hi @RyanBohan,

Thank you for the question. The closest functionality available today is the use of metadata templates, along with the metadata overwrite capability. You can learn more about this approach and recommended best practices in the blog below. *Please note the section at the bottom that highlights patterns of use.

If you have ideas for how ArcGIS could better support this need within your organization, we encourage you to review existing Esri Ideas and submit a new one if an appropriate suggestion does not already exist.
