Find App.Metafiled ID

[lokki54]

How to find the ID of the App.Metafiled?

I am looking on how to delete app.metafield but this require the ID.

The mutation which suppose to allow find id does not have support for OwnerType APP

{ 
          metafieldDefinitions(first:2, ownerType: APP) {
          edges {
            node {
              id,
              key,
              namespace
            }
          }
          }  
        }

Argument 'ownerType' on Field 'metafieldDefinitions' has an invalid value (APP)

Hi @lokki54 

You're looking for the ID of a metafield correct? The query you're trying would give you the ID for a metafield definition rather than a metafield, and the APP owner type does not currently support metafield definitions so that's why you're getting that error.

You have a couple chances to grab the metafield GID depending on whether need to get it from a newly created metafield or one that's already existing.

To grab a newly created one then you can just query on the response of the mutation that creates it:

mutation {
  metafieldsSet(metafields: [{namespace: "custom", key: "test", type: "json", value: "[]"}]) {
    metafields {
      id
      namespace
      key
    }
  }
}

If you've already created this metafield then you can query it by namespace/key and fetch the ID as well:

query {
  product(id: "gid://shopify/Product/12312") {
    metafield(namespace: "custom", key: "test") {
      id
    }
  }
}
