Public bug reported:

The ability to add metadata to an instance leveraging these definitions
at launch time was recently added to horizon. [0] It was also added as
an action on the instances table [1].

[0] https://review.openstack.org/209680
[1] https://review.openstack.org/243624

 In a follow up discussion, somebody asked about using the metadata definitions to also choose nova scheduler hints at launch time and how to make sure that the two weren't confused. This raised our awareness that we don't have properties_target set to "metadata" (rather than "scheduler_hints") for OS::Nova::Instance on the following software namespace files:
The metadata definitions the Glance Metadata Definitions catalog allow each namespace to be associated with a resource type in OpenStack. Some types of resources have more than one type of properties, so the namespaces allow this to be specified using a properties_target attribute.

We have now updated the existing namespaces in Glance for
OS::Nova::Instance to have a properties target  set to "metadata" [3].

So, the NG launch instance metadata step and project update metadata action should be updated to only show namespaces that have have the properties_target of metadata set.

Please note that there will be an additional bug opened on glance to
change these namespaces from OS::Glance::Instance to OS::Nova::Server to
align with the heat resource type.

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/openstack.html#OS::Nova::Server

** It should be noted that updating namespaces is already possible with
glance-manage. E.g.

ttripp@ubuntu:/opt/stack/glance$ glance-manage db_load_metadefs etc/metadefs -h
usage: glance-manage db_load_metadefs [-h]
                                      [path] [merge] [prefer_new] [overwrite]

positional arguments:
  path
  merge
  prefer_new
  overwrite

So, you just have to call:

ttripp@ubuntu:/opt/stack/glance$ glance-manage db_load_metadefs
etc/metadefs true true

** Affects: horizon
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- NG Launch Instance Metadata should only show metadata definitions with properties_target: metadata
+ Instance Metadata should only show metadata definitions with properties_target: metadata
