Does FME Flow (server) have a way to store FME workbench metadata? I can’t seem to find anything.

I mean metadata about the fme workbench, for example info such as describing what it does, who its made for (customer), having some tags and a owner doesn’t cut it. Also a way to export this information would be useful. 

How does everyone else manage their FME Flow servers with hundreds of workbenches and automations?

Open to any third party application suggestions too.

Thanks.

The workspace metadata is stored inside the workspace itself (the .fmw file). Some of this information will automatically be shown in parts of the FME Flow GUI, e.g. the workspace description.

You can edit this information in FME Workbench, see https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/workspace_parameters.htm
