How do I loop through a text metafield list?

English Shopify Technical Q&A

I have created a text metafield list called ingredients and I want to loop through it in liquid.

The problem is when I do {{ product.metafields.info.ingredients }}, it gives me a result

[“Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing.”,“Lorem Ipsum 2 is simply dummy text of the printing.”,“Lorem Ipsum 3 is simply dummy text of the printing.”,“Lorem Ipsum 4 is simply dummy text of the printing.”]

But when I try to loop through it like this

{% for ingredient in product.metafields.info.ingredients %}> - {{ ingredient }}
{% endfor %}

It doesn’t output anything. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Please help.

Solved it.

I was missing value in the for loop.

The correct syntax is

{% for ingredient in product.metafields.info.ingredients.value %}

  • {{ ingredient }}
    • {% endfor %}

    Thank you! Burnt up an hour trying everything to get the output.

    Was missing the .value also

    This has totally helped, but now i have another wrinkle. I want each item in the metafield array (which are separated by commas) to link to a search of that item. But what I’m getting is a link to both items. I don’t think it is treating my metafield like an array. Is that something i needed to do when defining the metafield?

    This is my code:

    {% for movieactors in product.metafields.custom.movieactors.value %}
    {{ movieactors }}
    {% endfor %}

    Thanks in advanced for any help you (or anyone else!) can provide.
