Missing data types in update metafield action

[williamoconnor]

I've created a Shopify Flow workflow with an action to update an order metafield value. The metafield datatype is a boolean. Shopify Flow only appears to allow updating metafields with datatype string, integer or JSON

Is this an oversight with the Flow app?

Hi, yes, this is a known limitation right now with Flow. We are looking at adding more metafield types into Flow.

I'm sorry to revive a resolved thread, but I'm doing it for a good 😅.
We've added a neat generator of Shopify Flow variables to our app, Metafields Guru. This generator supports all Online Store 2.0 metafields, including the recently introduced "list" metafields. You can configure a metafield template in our app and then easily copy all the settings to a custom Shopify Flow action:

Hopefully, it will come in handy for our community while waiting for Shopify to release native support for OS 2.0 metafields!

Updating this thread that more data types have been added to the update order metafield task so this is now resolved.
