Does the product/update webhook fire when a product/variant metafield is updated?

Retired Boards Appdev Metafields

I ran into this same problem. From what I found, looks like the Metafields2 App is making POST requests to the /variants/#id/metafields.json endpoint. And the product update webhook doesn’t fire when using that endpoint.

When I make a POST request to this endpoint, the webhook doesn’t fire: https://knack-production.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-01/variants//metafields.json

{
     "metafield": {
        "key": "test",
        "value": "test",
        "value_type": "string",
        "namespace": "global"
     }
}

Here’s the API reference for this endpoint: https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/metafield?api[version]=2020-01. There is reference to updating a variant metafields in that documentation

But when I make a PUT request to this endpoint, the webhook does fire: https://knack-production.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-01/variants/.json
