The new feature that was released by Shopify, Metaobjects is probably one of the best things that was announced in 2023 and with a great potential. However, I have a small issue that probably wasn’t developed yet. Is it possible to use the metaobjects for products as a filter in Seach & Discovery …

Yes currently is not supported, but in my opinion it makes sense to develop this solution. If we can use metaobjects for a product it would make sense to use it as filters. Fingers crossed, Shopify Developers will read this post and put this feature on the roadmap.

Hi, Thank you for this. I am following this one. I stumbled upon this limitation on Shopify and I want to keep updated. Cheers, CJ

We absolutely need this feature. Also applies for automated collections as you can not make one from metaobjects.

Yes, we too were excited about the potential of metaobjects as it allowed us to create a model object to better fit our products, unfortunately without this feature we will not be able to utilize them on our store…yet. If you could filter by a metafield you should be able to filter by metaobject fie…

Another +1 here. Allowing metaobjects to act as filters would open up a whole new world of possibilities and should absolutely be a priority ASAP. We should also be able to assign metaobjects as variant options!

Another request for this feature, please!!

Another +1 here! I kind of assumed this would be possible when I set up my custom meta info. Now I have to go back and manually add tags to all products instead
