Automatically adding label to files in a folder

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Server Version#:4.156.0
Is it possible to automatically add labels to all files in a specific folder? I have my movies in a movies folder, then within that folder another folder called _kids where I put all moves that are appropriate for the kids to watch.

I have kids profile set up to only allow movies with the kids label, but I have to manually add the label to each new movie. Ideally I could apply the label to the folder where the movies reside and any new movie that is added from that folder would automatically have the label applied.

Plex doesn’t have a mechanism for that.
Have you considered simply creating a second library with just the kids stuff?

e.g.

Movies
→ pointing to main folder
→ pointing to kids folder

Kids Movies
→ pointing to kids folder
