# Get project and dataset
project = dl.projects.get(project_name='project_name')
dataset = project.datasets.get(dataset_name='dataset_name')❗️ Note
When you add new metadata to the same item it overwrites the old metadata.
You can overwrite it by writing in a "list" data type and adding new metadata to the list
