Re: How to enable metafields only for specific products

How to enable metafields only for specific products

Hello, 

 

I'm having some issues with metafields. 

I have three different collections of products. I've added metafield  named 'product weight' in the settings menu. The problem is that I only need to display it for the products in the first collection, other two collections do not need it. Is there a way to select metafields for specific products only and disable it for other products? Because now metafield is global and applies to all store products. 

 

Thanks

Hi @iwritecodesomet,

 

You can add and delete the metafield code. With your issue, you can achieve it in several ways. 

 

First Option:

You can add another metafield and set it to true or false for each product

 

Second Option: 

You can create a collection template and assign the metafield to should, but not on default template.
