I may be mixing up my lingo; it's been a solid chunk of time since I've done db dev.
Why is there a bulk editor for updating metafield values when a value is simply modified? Shouldn't it be a simple value update then save while the system references the key? It seems to be referencing the value and gets confused when it changes.
Example metafield:
Name: Camera
Values: Nikon, Canon, Fuji
I apply these to products. I want to change Nikon to Sony. Shopify result: "WHAT HAPPENED?". I have to go through all products that were assigned Nikon and manually change them to Sony.
Expect: The value changes and is immediately reflected on the products using this value. Where there was Nikon before I should now see Sony.
What is up with the bad behavior?
