Adding JSON field to metaobject saying JSON is invalid problem Dawn 15V?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user is encountering a validation error when attempting to add a JSON field to a Shopify metaobject in Dawn theme version 15.

The Issue:

  • Shopify is rejecting the JSON as invalid
  • The schema defines a “Variants List” for variant swatches with properties like variant_name, variant_value, variant_swatch, and variant_hex

Technical Problem:
The provided JSON schema appears corrupted with reversed text (text written backwards, e.g., “eulav_tnairav” instead of “variant_value”). This formatting issue is likely causing the validation failure.

Status:
The discussion remains open with no responses or solutions provided yet. The user needs assistance identifying and correcting the JSON syntax errors to successfully add the field to their metaobject.
