Same for us - showing in checkout on product data, again causing real issues for our clients packing info.
Topic summary
Line item properties are intermittently being replaced with the string [FILTERED], primarily between cart and checkout/order creation. Many merchants report correct values in /cart.json and sometimes checkout, but the final order shows [FILTERED], hindering fulfillment and packing.
Impact:
- Custom product text and options lost, requiring manual customer outreach.
- Discount/volume pricing app behavior fluctuates, causing payment errors when totals change.
- Occurs on random fields and values; sometimes even when no input was provided.
Observed patterns (inconsistent):
- Values starting with a leading space may trigger filtering.
- Specific values get flagged: “DELIVERY” filtered while “PICK-UP/RENTAL” not; “THOR” filtered while “ACE” not; “Gold” filtered while “Gold Accent” not.
Timing and scope:
- Issue surfaced today; one report cites around 3 PM GMT.
- Shopify support acknowledged an ongoing issue and promised updates.
- Multiple reports indicate it was fixed for new orders around 3:45 PM PT. Old orders still show [FILTERED].
Workarounds discussed:
- Review /cart.json logs and session recordings (e.g., Lucky Orange) to infer selections.
- Temporarily adjust property values to avoid triggers.
- Implement external capture of cart data (e.g., Mechanic tasks, contact forms) to reconcile missing info.
Status: Appears resolved for new orders. Open question remains on recovering or reconciling affected past orders.
