Error: Metafields.key must be unique

[Minty_Hunter]

Sometimes when blogging I get this message in red at the top of the post;

"There was 1 error with this:

Metafields.key must be unique within this namespace on this resource."

Can anyone suggest what the problem is?

Cheers.

Hey Minty,

That's a new one to me. Would you be able to get me a screenshot and send it over to me at matthew.buttler@shopify.com? I can have my engineers take a look and see what might be going on here.

Talk to you soon!

I've had that too!

Hey Rachel!

Fire off an email to me too! The more instances we have of this the easier it will be to solve. Be sure to include a screenshot, your shop URL as well as the workflow you used to get the error... like, were you doing something out of the ordinary with the blog post, or do are you editing a pre-existing post, or are you making a new post.

Talk to you soon!

Me too. Help us, please.
Anyone figure out a work-around? Delete the post and start over?
I got it after making some minor changes to the post and it won't update and shows this error message, which is not comprehensible.
Thanks--hope the Gurus figure it out!
