Associate media with variant when updating the product

Retired Boards Appdev Merchandising

I can’t update product media and associate them with the variants in productUpdate mutation. When I do that, the media gets created but not associated with the variants. When I try the same payoload for creating the product it works just fine.

Also, it works fine with old images and imageSrc

The mutation I’m trying is something like this:

QUERY
mutation productUpdate($input: ProductInput!, $media: [CreateMediaInput!]) {
  productUpdate(input: $input, media: $media) {
    product {
        id
    }
  }
}

VARIABLES
{
  "input": {
      ...
      "id": "gid://shopify/Product/123456"
      "options": ["size", "color"],
      "variants": [
          {
            ...
            "options": ["S", "RED"],
            "mediaSrc": ["https://image-1-url"]
          },
          {
            ...
            "options": ["M", "RED"],
            "mediaSrc": ["https://image-1-url"]
          },
          {
            ...
            "options": ["S", "GREEN"],
            "mediaSrc": ["https://image-2-url"]
          },
          {
            ...
            "options": ["M", "GREEN"],
            "mediaSrc": ["https://image-2-url"]
          },

            "options": ["M", "BLUE"],
            "mediaSrc": ["https://image-3-url"]

HI @PriLopes , did you solve the problem with the images?

I have the same problem, I use the new API versione 2023-10 and when I create a new variant, the image is not related to variant.

Also, when I want to update variant images, the modification is not executed.

I can’t use other operation becase I use alway bulk operations.

I didn’t. I’ve tried to solve this for a while without success but then I had to do a pause on that and didn’t go back yet. Waiting for some help here :sweat_smile:

The problem is in the new version 2023-10 the old field imageSrc has been removed anche now there is no way to add a new variant with image on existing product, the variant is created, the image also but not linked the the variant.

I hope this is a bug to fix. I opened a ticket…
