Product Metafield using Shopify Liquid in Theme's Default Content

Technical Q&A
1

Hello,

I am trying to display a metafield value as the default content on the product page.

This is the syntax, I am using:

The metafield definition is as follows:

anupamdeoarya_1-1731585311541.png

But when I enable it on the theme, it does not show the value. What could I be missing here ???

No, it does not work like this.

In default theme content (previously Theme Language) {{variable}} is not a way to render Liquid variable, but a placeholder for a variable which will be supplied by a theme code.

Say you have a translation called “Quantity of color” under General and it’s set as “{{ number }} of this color available”

When your liquid code in theme looks like {{ “general.quantity_of_colors” | t: number: 25 }} the system will output “25 of this color available”

Oh thanks for the explain. So could you help me with the code/syntax that I can define in the theme code so that I can display a metafield value on the product page for a default content/language?
