App Metafield graphql returning null for some stores

App Metafield graphql returning null for some stores

Hello, I'm having issue with App Owned metafield. 

 

API version: 2023-07

When it started: Yesterday, 11/11/2023

 

Manage to get all the metafields successfully with the following graphql code:

 

appInstallation {
  id
  metafields(namespace: "'.$namespace.'", first: 200) {
    edges {
      node {
        id,
        key
      }
    }
  }
}

 

 

It is working fine before this. The following doesn't work for only couple of stores where the metafield is returning null although there are values.

appInstallation {
  id
  metafield(namespace: "your namespace", key: "your key") {
      value
  }
}

 

Any idea what's wrong?

We experience the same issue with App metafields. We can list them with Get metafields attached to an app installation query, but getting a specific metafield returns null.

We tried different API versions, including 2021-07, 2023-07 and the latest 2023-10

@spoluer I thought I'm the only one with this issue as I searched all the forums. I've created a support ticket with Shopify and sent them all the details as required. Waiting for their reply now.

We are having this issue on mahigold.com

All metafield queries return null from the storefront graphql api.
