Hi @cwsg 

A possible reason is that the theme you're using does not include a text field for metafields by default. This means that you will need to add the text field manually in order to be able to enter values for your metafield. To add the text field for your metafield, you will need to edit the theme code for your store.

@cwsg Kindly check below steps you have used to put value to metafield label. Let me know whether it is helpful for you.

We can update the metafield values in two ways.

WAY 1:

1. To set and update metafiled value for a product, you can use below endpoint and method.

Endpoint: {store_URL}/admin/api/2024-04/products/{product_id}/metafields.json

Method: POST

Request body:

{
    "metafield": {
        "key": "your_metafield_key",
        "value": "your_metafield_value",
        "type": "your_metafield_type",
        "namespace": "your_metafield_namespace"
    }
}

WAY 2:

This is another way to set and update the metafield value. If you used this way, please check whether you have followed the below instructions.

1. To set metafiled value for product for the first time, we have to use below endpoint and method.

Endpoint: {store_URL}/admin/api/2024-04/products/{product_id}.json

Method: PUT

Request body:

{
    "product": {
        "id": product_id,
        "metafields": [
            {
                "key": "your_metafield_key",
                "value": "your_metafield_value",
                "type": "your_metafield_type",
                "namespace": "your_metafield_namespace"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Note: This API call works only to set a metafield value for existing product for the first time.

i) First we have to use below endpoint to get a metafield id

Request body:
