Add complete attributes to file

I apologize if this is a dupe. I searched many times.
I found how to add attributes to the files' names. Can filebot add attributes to the actually files?
I am wanting to add them Windows OS > right click > properties > details?
Thanks in advance.

Windows Explorer does not support adding attributes to files. The Properties tab merely shows you read-only media information extracted from the file contents. The level of support for extracting information from files varies greatly and depends on the file type. If you want to change the title property inside *.mkv or *.mp4 files then FileBot itself cannot help you, since FileBot does
not modify file contents.

If you're using Plex, then you can just configure Plex to not use embedded media titles:

If you must change the title property and
understand the risks (tl;dr I'd backup all my files before rewriting them) then tools like
mkvpropedit and
AtomicParsley can help you do that:
