Problem with GraphQl - delete orders using metafieldDelete

Retired Boards Appdev Metafields

I received this message when using GraphQL. Could you help please?

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Internal error. Looks like something went wrong on our end.\nRequest ID: 25ea121b-2774-4772-9e01-f104fa28dbec (include this in support requests).",
      "extensions": {
        "code": "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR",
        "requestId": "25ea121b-2774-4772-9e01-f104fa28dbec"
      }
    }
  ]
}

This is my code, the order Id was taken from the query above

query main {
  orders(first: 5) {
    edges{
      node {
        id
        closed
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
    }
  }
}

mutation delorder {
    second: metafieldDelete(input: {
		id: "gid://shopify/Order/2094635679805"
    }) { 
    	userErrors {field message } deletedId 
    }
}

Please notice that with the id encoded in base64, the error is the same

Hey @jirnmy

The id should be the ID of the metafield to delete. Have you tried:

mutation metafieldDelete($input: MetafieldDeleteInput!) {
  metafieldDelete(input: $input) {
    deletedId
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

{ 
  "input": { "id": "Z2lkOi8vU2hvcGlmeS9FeGFtcGxlLzE=" }
}

Hi @SBD

Could you take a look at my query please? I first get the IDs from the main query. And then use the IDs from that to delete the Meta in delorder.

Could you help point out where I’m wrong?

Thanks!

Hey @jirnmy

You’ll need the metafield ID, not the order ID. Try something like this:

{
  orders(first:1) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        metafields (first:1) {
          edges {
            node {
              id
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

mutation metafieldDelete($input: MetafieldDeleteInput!) {
  metafieldDelete(input: $input) {
    deletedId
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

{
  "input": {
    "id": "gid://shopify/Metafield/1234"
  }
}

@SBD Thanks! I understand now.

However, the metafield query doesn’t give me any Ids? What could be the problem?

The order I’m checking has the status of Cancelled. It’s displaying the delete button when viewing order’s detail.

What’s the order ID?

Hey @jirnmy

That order doesn’t appear to have any metafields.

My main purpose is to delete this Order. It is deletable in the Admin panel.

I want to delete it with the API. Could you help please?

Ah, I misunderstood - I thought you were trying to delete metafields.

I can’t see an orderDelete mutation, you might need to use the REST API instead.

I see.

I read some articles on the internet and it said that metafield can be used to delete Orders.

I will go for REST then. Thanks for your help!
