The SCED mod supports metadata on cards. When present, this metadata is used by the mod to drive certain activities. For example, metadata on locations allows automatic clue spawning and location connection linking. If you want to learn more about the SCED metadata the documentation for it is here
Zoop populates this metadata automatically during the export and saved object creation process. Metadata population is supported both when creating new saved objects and updating existing saved objects.
Some of the available metadata fields are not populated by Zoop. The following table shows the current status of metadata field support.

The id field is set to a Zoop generated GUID. This id will be unique per source card in Strange Eons. Where a card has multiple copies in TTS, such as multiple copies of an encounter card or player card, the id will be the same across all copies of this card.
Investigator mini-cards are an exception to the above. They will be the id of the linked investigator card (see the InvestigatorMiniCardFor instruction for more details) with a -m suffix. If there is no investigator linked card the mini-card will not have an id.
