Metadata Fields Management mathematical expressions

I am adding a field to the metadata using the Metadata Fields Management. Is there a way to do a mathematical expression in the field value? Is there a certain syntax that I need to use? I am getting the page count from another metadata location and need to multiply it by a number. When I try to do this, it just treats it as text. In metadata, I am seeing 2*.16 instead of .32. Thanks so much

No, the task does not support that. But you can use the Math Operations task to store the value in a variable and then use that variable in the Metadata Fields task.
