I created a metaobjects with two fields, Name and Description. Name is set as single-line text, and Description is set as multi-line text (because of a lot more content). I also created a metafield referencing this metaobject to use it in a content box (where type =“textarea”). When I try to dynamically pull this content into a page, only Name shows up in the dropdown selection but not Description.
If I change Description from multi-line text to single-line text, it shows up and I can select it. Why is that?
For adding single or multi-line text onto your product page, I recommend exploring the user-friendly Easify Product Options app. It’s a Free solution that requires no coding for seamless setup !
Yes, if you use Easify Product Options app to create your text field, you don’t need to use metaobject. The app is very easy to use, hope you can give it a try!
I’m curious if you’ve sorted out how to create the metaobjects to display them in your tab.
If you still seek a workaround and consider using an app, then look at our Easy Content Builder app (it enables you to create metaobject definitions automatically with one click). You will get a set of fields, including single-line and multi-line texts.
It’s up to you to display those entries on a Tab, Accordion, or many other pre-built sections available under the ECB app.
*Disclaimer: I’m the app’s creator, so I’m biased when referring to our app here.
Just want to suggest one more option if you’re interested.
