I found I cant not save "handle" with API (https://shopify.dev/api/admin-rest/2022-04/resources/product#post-products), why

 

for example:

{"product":{"bodyHtml":"<p style=\"margin:0\"><span style=\"font-family:none\">1</span></p>","handle":"thisisHandle","images"...

Hey @iamivan 

If you are using the REST Admin API to create a product resource, the expected functionality would be that the Product.handle field is automatically generated from the title value (string) - Product API doc here. In testing with one of the example requests, the response body included a generated handle as expected per the documentation.

Hope that helps clarify - Cheers!

why handle can be set in excel upload but not allowed in API? sounds strange, usually these 2 share the same logic
