Hi everyone,

I’m using a bulk productCreate mutation to load several products, then it happens that I need to update the product SEO title and a few metafields of its variants, so I’m using productUpdate bulk operation but SEO title and metafields are not updated. I checked the report of the bulk operation but I don’t get any error.

How can I update such data ?

Thanks you
