Publishing metafields in collapsable content

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A user is attempting to display product packaging information (e.g., aluminum tin, plastic bottle, glass bottle) in collapsible content sections on Shopify product pages using metafields and dynamic content.

Current Issue:

  • Created a metafield called “Package Type” assigned to the “Conditioners” category
  • The dynamic content function cannot locate/connect to this field
  • Three screenshots are included showing the setup configuration

Desired Outcome:

  • Create a reusable “dictionary” of packaging descriptions that can be selected per product
  • Enable site-wide updates by editing a single entry (e.g., “Aluminium tin. Widely recycled or reuse”)

Status:
Another user responded asking if the issue persists or was resolved, suggesting the setup approach appears correct but may have encountered a temporary glitch. The original poster has not yet confirmed resolution.

HI

We are selling a range of products with different packaging. e.g. Aluminium tin, plastic bottle, glass bottle, etc.

I want to publish the info in collapsible content on each product page. It seems that this should be achieved via the dynamic content. I have created a field called Package Type. However, I am going around in circles with the dynamic content function not finding the field.

The field is assigned to the category - in this case, Conditioners.

Ideally, I would love a dictionary of phrases I can plug into each product page. So I can click and select “Aluminium tin. Widly recycled or reuse” and change this across the site with one edit.

This should be easy stuff and you know probably know what you are doing and what you should do from your post.

Are you still having h trouble or was it just a glitch or something??
