I am in the process of switching over to the DAWN theme and am wanting to utilize the drop down menus for the details of products on the product pages. I see how to manually edit a product on the admin page to add the individual information needed for each product via the metafields… we have alway imported our product via csv… is there a way to add the metafield information to the metafields instead of manually editing hundreds of products?
Hi @miljuu ,
Currently, you can’t do this with CSV.
You can just use app for this, refer: https://apps.shopify.com/all-in-one-metafields or if you want to export and import Metafields you can refer to app: https://apps.shopify.com/excel-export-import?ref=studio-mitte-digital-media-gmbh
Hope it helps!
Thank you for that information. That is a bummer that you are not able to add metafiled data in the CSV when importing all other information for products. My goal is to stay away from apps, but I appreciate the recommendation.
Hi @miljuu ,
If it helped you solve your issue, please mark it as a solution. Thank you and good luck.
Native product CSV is still awkward for this because product fields and metafields are not handled the same way. If the goal is to avoid manually editing hundreds of products, I would first document each metafield definition: namespace, key, type, and whether it belongs to the product or variant.
Then test one small import/update path before committing to the whole catalog. Most mistakes I see in this kind of workflow come from a value being valid text in a spreadsheet but not valid for the metafield type Shopify expects.
