Hello. I am using the new horizon theme and am having an issue with metaobject data insertion. I am able to insert “single line text” metaobjects into my products page but am unable to add “Multi line text” and “Rich text” associated with that same meta object. I do not know how to code. Please Help.
Here you need to make sure that you are trying to populate this on a multi line text field or rich text field from the customizer. If using a simple text block, it won’t show up.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried “Text”, “Heading”, and “Jumbo Text”. I have also tried generating blocks specifically with commands for multi-line text and rich text. Is there another way of adding them?
Here is the compatibility list – Dynamic data sources
It shows what theme/section/block setting type is compatible with with what metafield/metaobject property type.
Jumbo text has a “text-area” type setting, “text” and “heading” are “richtext”, so should be compatible…
Looks like it is a system limitation.
Thank you for your patience while I consulted with our technical team, Javier. They have confirmed that this is currently a known technical limitation: the standard “Text” block in the theme editor is specifically designed to support only single-line text fields as dynamic sources. Consequently, multiline and rich text fields are not compatible with that specific block type by design. To display these fields, a theme code customization using Liquid would be required, which a Shopify Partner or an expert developer could certainly assist you with. Furthermore, my team noted that your use case is excellent feedback; I have officially escalated this to our developers so they can consider expanding these capabilities in future platform updates.
Thanks for your help.
