Hi,
I need to display product metafields in product admin panel. See a screenshot.
Is it possible?
Topic summary
Goal: show product metafields (custom fields) as columns in the Shopify admin Products list.
Feasibility: Not supported. Shopify does not allow apps to add columns to admin “resource index” tables (the list views). APIs only permit apps to inject content in limited, predefined areas (e.g., action links), not modify core table columns.
Alternatives suggested:
- Build a custom dashboard outside the native admin with the desired UI and metafield visibility.
- Use a custom browser extension to alter the admin UI (may not behave natively or reliably).
- Export product data to CSV and manage/view metafields in Excel or Google Sheets.
Notes: A screenshot was provided to illustrate the desired admin grid layout, but the limitation is platform-level.
Status: Question answered with platform limitation; no native/admin-app solution. Workarounds available; no further actions or resolution within the default Shopify admin.
Hi @mrmg not possible with apps to add columns to admins resource index pages tables.
The apis only allow apps to add content to specific areas and in specific ways; such as action links.
Alternatives is to build a custom dashboard with the needed UI behavior.
Or possibly with a custom browser extension but will that may not behave natively.
Otherwise export data to CSV and work in excel/gsheets.
