Ability to add fields (columns) to default Product List

I would like the ability to add fields to the default product list you see when you click on “Products” on the left side of the Admin… specifically “SKU.” But it would be nice to be able to add any field in the product records as a column in that view.

Possible? Would anyone else find that useful?

@DougC short answer NO its not possible for default product list

If you want to see the SKU column you need to select the product and go to bulk editor there only you can see that

Thanks! I didn’t think it was possible, but I thought I would check.

Does Shopify have a “Submit Request for New Features” form or board?

Shopify does not have any website/board to request a new features, However if you connect though chat and if they feel this is important things to take a as features they will take that,

Hey @TorwoodGC .

Thanks for reaching out on this thread.

I can certainly see how it would be beneficial to add custom fields to the Products section of your online store. I am going to mention this as a suggestion to our developers to add. We appreciate you reaching out and bringing this to our attention as feedback like this is how we can make a better platform for all merchants.

You can stay up to date with Shopify’s latest updates by checking out the changelog.

Let us know if you have any questions.

I’m not even after custom fields in the individual Product section. I simply would like the ability to add already existing fields on the Product page to the list you see when you click on “Products” in the left column menu. Please see the image I attached to my original post. That should be must less development-intensive than custom fields on the individual product page (although that would be great as well).

I am here to ask the same question, SKU is important part of our inventory and would love to see without getting into bulk edit.
I wish shopify community has a tool to upvote these type of requests, to maybe they can prioritize it.

This feature is really basic and fundamental website functionality - I don’t understand how with a net income of $2bn last year they fail to improve their UI.

My primary client is on a Plus plan; maybe our account manager can relay a message from myself regarding some gripes I have with their platform… I’ve seen numerous posts over the years asking for this feature and its about time they devoted some dev hours to this.

I think the primary reason they didn’t already implement this is due to increased GraphQL query compute power needed to pull extra fields… but that is their problem; it shouldn’t be ours.
