Accessing product category metaobjects

Retired Boards Appdev Graphql Basics And Troubleshooting

I am uploading products via graphQL and it’s all good apart from one thing - product Category metafields.

I have tried every which way, but I can’t seem to select a target gender or a colour, for example.

To clarify: I understand creating and updating custom metafields. It’s the product category metafields (within metaobjects, I believe) which Shopify created that I need help with.

Is this anywhere near? p.s. i am using the HTTP module in MAKE, which is working fine for creating and updating all other aspects of product and variant attributes.

{
  "query": 
    "mutation {
      metafieldsSet(metafields: [
        {
          namespace: \"shopify\",
          key: \"color-pattern.color\",
          ownerId: \"gid://shopify/Product/12345678910\",
          type: \"shopify--color-pattern\",
          value: \"#333333\"
        }
      ]) {
        metafields {
          id
          key
          value
        }
        userErrors {
          field
          message
        }
      }
    }"
}
