Don't automatically display Category Metafields columns when bulk editing products

[dangkhiem]

When editing products in bulk, a lot of columns in the "Category Metafields" are automatically selected and displayed, which makes the browser run very slowly.
I never use these items in my products, so every time I edit products in bulk, I have to manually disable those columns, which is very time-consuming.
Is there a way to prevent it from automatically displaying?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Shopify's bulk editor allows you to choose which columns are visible during bulk editing. Unfortunately, there isn't a built-in feature to save your preferences permanently across sessions (as it resets when you open the bulk editor).

If you're comfortable with coding then using shopify api's you can modify your data.

Thanks,

I am not good at coding, where can I learn how to use the API?
Thank you!

Hi,

Follow this url to use Shopify api-

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2024-10/resources/product

You have to create custom app in your store to get API key and access token, once you will have you can modify the data from locally using any language that supports.

Usually, i prefer nodejs but you can use ruby, remix, php etc

Thanks,
