I am looking at the productSet new api to create a product with variants, I can’t seem to see anything related to weightUnit or weight.

How am I able to set that? My goal is to use the create to do as much in one go as I can, but that seems to be missing

I see that "inventoryItem " gives

message": “Variable $productSet of type ProductSetInput! was provided invalid value for variants.0.inventoryItem (Field is not defined on ProductVariantSetInput)”,

This has measurement that I thought would be in the product set: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/input-objects/InventoryItemInput

Thanks
