Help! Metafields doesn’t appear when im adding it to my Spotlight theme

[jsllp]

Hi

Im trying to add a metafield to my product pages, but when I add the text block and search for the dynamic metafield I already created (Product information) I cannot find it, I already tried several times to create the metafield but nothing works, I don't know if the theme SPOTLIGHT doesn’t support metafields , do I have to modify the code ? 

Please help 😞

Hi @jsllp, Here are a few things you can check to resolve this issue:

• Ensure the Metafield is Set Up Correctly

  • Go to Settings > Custom data > Products and confirm that the metafield exists.
  • Check if it has the correct namespace and key (e.g., custom.product_information).
  • Make sure the content type (Text, Integer, etc.) matches the expected format.

• Check if the Metafield Has a Value

  • If the metafield is empty for a product, Shopify may not display it as an option. Try adding a value to a product and then recheck the theme editor.

• Verify If the Theme Supports Dynamic Sources

  • Some blocks (like text blocks) may not support dynamic sources. Try adding it inside a rich text block instead.

• Manual Code Addition (If Needed)

  • If the metafield still doesn't appear, you may need to modify the theme code. Try adding this snippet inside product.liquid or the relevant section file:

{{ product.metafields.custom.product_information }}

• This should display the metafield on the product page.

Hi thank you

I checked everything, so I think it's a prolem of the theme, but i don't have the product.liquid so I don't know where to try the code, I have theme.liquid 

Thanks 🙂

Hi I find a video that had the solution to the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_HL82_6Ank&ab_channel=EdCodes-ShopifyDIYTutorials

I had to add the code to a liquid block and add a little more to have the text organized, thank you for your help

Yes! I used exactly the same video for this problem. No amount of Shopify docs would've helped.

Just to confirm, which type you have selected to content add when you created metefield? Connect that metafield in Richtext

Or else just share the screenshot of the metafile definition and the screenshot of field type where you would like to fetch it.

@jsllp so it looks like for the type text the theme used inline_richtext type. try to update it with only type: "richtext".

It'll be in main-product.liquid section file I think
