Do all metafields show in the properties of every product?

[Jj37]

Does anyone know if there is a way to apply metafields to certain products only?

I.e: I only need "size" on certain types of products, and I only need "colour" on other types of products. Or will the size and colour metafields appear on every product properties page?

Hello @Jj37 

No not every product will show the size and colour.

It will be visible to the products that have content in the metafield option. If the metafield data is blank then it will not be shown for that product.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply. But my question is, if I have 7 or 8 different metafields. Will the metafields always show on the back end, in the product properties where I can edit price etc? Or is there a way I can assign metafields to certain products?

Nope. All metafield definitions apply to all products (currently).
