Goal: Dynamically show each social link’s block label as its selected social type/name in a Shopify section (text labels instead of icons), with a unique label per block instance.
Context: In Shopify theme blocks, “social_type” is the predefined social media selection; “name” is the block’s display label. The author wants the block’s name to auto-populate from the chosen social_type (or a per-block social name), avoiding the same label across all blocks. Screenshots illustrate current schema and desired outcome.
Key updates:
Status: No Shopify/Liquid-specific solution provided; the question remains open with no confirmed method to dynamically set the block’s name from social_type.
This is what I intend to achieve: using the social name in the block to avoid having the same label for all the social links.
In the block section, I am getting the social_type in the Social Name field, but I’m unsure how to dynamically populate the name block with this social_type value.
Any help would be appreciated!
tks!
