How to configure lots of Custom Product fields in Dawn

Technical Q&A
1

Hi

I have an existing ecommerce website that relies heavily of Product personalisation and I am looking at moving it to Shopify.

I created a shopify test account and started working with Minimalist Theme and I discovered I could make copies of the product.liquid template which would allow me to create separate templates for each set of products that had the same personalisation fields which I could then tweak using tabs if I wanted to show/hide.

I then discovered the new Dawn theme and figured this is obviously the way to go but the online info I could find on creating custom product fields involved creating new templates and then amending the main.product.liquid file directly. If I were to use this method I would end up with a seriously bloated file.

So my question is this - can I make copies of main.product.liquid with appended filenames like I was able to for the Minimal theme. If so how do i structure them.

Thanks in advance.

Did some research and discovered this can be done through the new theme editor and meta fields however I have another question.

Pre 2.0 fields could be shown based on Tag assigned by using if statements like {% if product.tags contains “tag-name” %}

Is there a way to do this in 2.0

Cheers
