Mutate product metafield in checkout ui extension

[AH63935]

I am using a checkout ui extension currently. Is it possible to mutate a product metafield in it? I want to mutate the product metafield and store a new price that is needed because I can only query metaobjects from checkout ui extension and not functions (to my current knowledge) and will need to pass that to the cart transformer function. Thanks!

Hi AH63935,

What’s the ultimate goal and full use case you're trying to achieve here, and how do metaobjects function within this? Would it be possible to use cart attributes instead of product metafields if this needs to happen at runtime? 

Cart attributes in Shopify are custom attributes left by the customer to the merchant, either in their cart or during checkout. These attributes consist of key-value pairs where the key is the name of the attribute and the value is the attribute value. They can be used to store additional information about the cart, such as special instructions or preferences, and can be updated using the Shopify API.
