> Macro (aura-html)

Defines a column as a lookup of existing metadata for each page.  
The `list-metadata` macro is used to display on the **Organisation Home **page the metadata values from an existing list. The metadata name is **Current Lead Manager**.

These values are from another list column. The input column with the heading **Current Lead Manager** on the **Operating Teams **page.

The `list-metadata` macro column **heading** is set as the metadata name -  the name of the source list column heading.

The displayed values are not editable from the list column generated using the `list-metadata` macro. It is a simple look-up column list.

> ℹ️ The metadata values can only be edited in the source list where the list column was added.

In this example the metadata values were added using the [list-input](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CLSL/pages/656676649) macro.
