I have added a metafield definition for blog posts (singular) to the Admin > Settings > Metafields > Add Definition. It appears as such:
As you can see, it is “Pinned.” When editing the actual article itself, the meta definition requires me to select “Show All” and actually provide the meta field on a separate page, rather than being able to edit the metafield directly within the post editor. This is what I see when editing the post:
And then I have to click “Show All” which takes me to a separate page to edit the meta fields for this post like so:
Is this intentional or am I doing something incorrect? My understanding is that when you add metafield definitions according to Shopify Docs and “Pin” them, the meta field definition and field values should appear all within the module at the bottom like so:
Pinning/unpinning works fine if I add custom metafields to products and it appears like the example above. Is this a limitation of metafields for blog posts?
My worry is my content editors will not be as intuitive to click on “Show All” for metafields when the interface would cleary be more helpful if the “Pinned” metafield definitions appeared. Please advise. Thanks!
