Hello, this is possible in our GraphQL API. For example, with the productUpdate mutation you can input multiple metafields. See https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/graphql/reference/products-and-collections/productupdate?#productinput-fields-2021-04 for the product example.

My code:

		array (
		  0 => 
		  array (
			'namespace' => 'your_namespace',
			'key' => 'your_key',
			'value' => 'your_value',
			'value_type' => 'string',
		  ),
		  1 => 
		  array (
			'namespace' => 'your_namespace_2',
			'key' => 'your_key_2',
			'value' => 'your_value',
			'value_type' => 'string',
		  ),
		),
	  ),
	);

Hi,

This is my question too.
Is there any way to add necessary meta fields to one level above the products?

I mean adding meta fields somehow that could be assigned automatically to every new product, It’s not reasonable to send a separate request for every single field, imaging all of my 1000 products have 50 fields, so how it will be handled?

Really I need to make 50000 requests?

Or I’m totally wrong here?

Did you have any answer related to this?

I am also interested in creating different metafields in one single call if possible.

We released a new and improved metafieldsSet mutation in our GraphQL Admin API: https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2021-10/mutations/metafieldsSet as part of the 2021-10 API version.

It lets you create or update multiple (up to 25) metafields on different owners as well.

Hello, It’s not possible to update multiple metafields in a single API call. To achieve that you will need to make a separate API call for each metafield.
