Type: String

 ** properties **   <a name="personalize-Type-UBS_Action-properties"></a>
A string map of action-specific metadata. Each element in the map consists of a key-value pair. For example, `{"value": "100"}`.  
The keys use camel case names that match the fields in the schema for the Actions dataset. In the previous example, the `value` matches the 'VALUE' field defined in the Actions schema. For categorical string data, to include multiple categories for a single action, separate each category with a pipe separator (`|`). For example, `\"Deluxe|Premium\"`.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 32000.
