Azure data factory now supports setting custom metadata when sink to Azure Blob Storage or Azure Data Lake Gen2 in copy activity. With this capability, it'll be more flexible for data factory user to define the metadata in sink side with below allowed data values:

  • $$LASTMODIFIED - a reserved variable indicates to store the source files' last modified time. Apply to file-based source with binary format only.
  • Expression
  • Static value

 

Learn more from ADF Azure Blob Storage connector or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connector documentation.  For a full list of data stores that are supported in ADF, see this connector overview article.
