Hi,

I have the metal color metafield that I created and that I would like to connect to a variant option, however I cant see the metal color metafield in the options as you can see in the second picture and for the variant options I want to add the color and the metal color. I can only see earrings category metafield, but not my product metafield (Silver and Gold)

Unfortunately, custom metafields cannot be linked to product options at this time.

I know for me personally, this would be an amazing feature to have.

The following is cited from Shopify’s Help Center:

Product options created with Shopify’s Standard Product Taxonomy have the following limitations:

  • In order to use Shopify’s Standard Product Taxonomy to power swatches on Dawn, you must be using the latest version.
  • New categories might not be compatible with sales channels. Review your product’s sales channels before modifying a published product’s category.
  • Unit of measurement and dimension type attribute aren’t currently available.
  • Custom attributes are currently not supported.
  • Attributes aren’t supported in the following Shopify apps: Search and Discovery and Shopify Bundles.

UPDATE:

Custom metafields (referencing metaobjects) can now be assigned to categories, enabling the ability to link said metafield to product options.
