2024-07 Products API Registering Only A Single Option Value
Starting with the `2024-04` API, Shopify significantly changed the products API and how the variants are handled. I am trying to create product through the GraphQL API that has 2 variants and each variant has 4 values. With the separation of the API into multiple pieces, it became very confusing what is what. I tried all of them and none of them work. I will summarize my attempts below:
1) Use the productOptionsCreate mutation.
My query:
mutation createOptions($productId: ID!, $options: [OptionCreateInput!]!) {
productOptionsCreate(productId: $productId, options: $options) {
userErrors {
field
message
code
}
product {
id
variants(first: 5) {
nodes {
id
title
selectedOptions {
name
value
}
}
}
options {
id
name
values
position
optionValues {
id
name
hasVariants
}
}
}
}
}
With
{
variables: {
productId: responseJson.data.productCreate.product.id,
options: [
{
name: 'broken cloud',
values: [ {name: 'HOB'}, {name: ...}, {name: ...}, {name: ...} ]
},
{
name: 'hidden dawn',
values: [{name: 'HOB'}, {name: ...}, {name: ...}, {name: ...} ]
}
]
}
}
The query succeeds but it only registers a single value. See screenshot below
For what is worth, I also tried taking the example query in the mutations docs, only changing the product id to a valid id in my test store and I get the same result. Example query doesn't work
The example submits two colors (red & blue) and two sizes (small & medium) but on the product page, I only see one each. Screenshot:
2) Use the productVariantsBulkCreate mutation.
This straight up doesn't work since `optionValues` field doesn't seem fit to handle cases like this.
3) Use the productOptions field in the productCreate mutation
This results in the same outcome as #1 with only a single value being registered.
What is the right way of registering multiple option values under the new API? Any help would be appreciated
