Why cannot i configure countryCodeOfOrigin with productVariantUpdate mutation?

[devill]

It can be set on InventoryItemUpdateInput but not on ProductVariantInput.

Why can't I set countryCodeOfOrigin while countryHarmonizedSystemCodes can be set either way?

Hi Devill,

As you've noticed it's not possible to configure countryCodeOfOrigin with the ProductVariantUpdate mutation, because the  countryCodeOfOrigin field is not a valid field for the ProductVariantInput object

The ProductVariantInput object is used to update the properties of a product variant, such as the title, price, and inventory quantity. However, the countryCodeOfOrigin field is not a property of a product variant, but rather a property of an inventory item. However, the countryHarmonizedSystemCodes field can be set either way because it is a valid field for both the InventoryItemInput and ProductVariantInput objects. This limitation is valuable feedback however to share with our product teams - so thanks for flagging!

Hope this helps!

Thank you for reply, Lian. I understand why.

Thanks for sharing to product teams.

Hopefully you will consider adding it.

+1 on a fix for this, as it means no bulk updating of countryCodeOfOrigin, alternatively bulk operation support for inventoryItemUpdate would be great 🙂
