Product variant - TITLE field

Topic summary

Product variant title field deprecation behavior in API version 2022-10.

  • Issue: Confusion over deprecation of PRODUCT_VARIANT.title since responses still include the field in the 2022-10 API.
  • Clarification: From 2022-10, the title field is deprecated for writing and is automatically generated from the variant options’ translations. You can no longer write to this field, but you can still read it.
  • Implication: Apps should not attempt to set PRODUCT_VARIANT.title. Manage variant naming via option values and their translations; the API will generate and return the title accordingly.
  • Status: Resolved/clarified; no indication that read access will be removed, only write access is deprecated.

Hi there :waving_hand:

You can review this changelog post. Starting in 2022-10 the title field will be automatically generated using the options translations. You can no longer write to this field, but you can still read it.
