Retrieve a list of metafields with "type" query parameter retrieves all the metafields

With the recent changes (https://shopify.dev/changelog/online-store-2-0-new-metafields-type-system-and-dynamic-sources), the “value_type” field is deprecated and is replaced by the “type” field. “value_type” when used as a query parameter, returned only the records that matched certain value.

For example, /metafields.json?value_type=integer - returns records with value_type as integer.
But, /metafields.json?type=single_line_text_field - returns all the metafield records.

What is the expected behavior and can we use “type” as a query parameter?

Thanks for letting us know about this and I verified that this is an issue. The intention is that type can be used as a query parameter in a smilier fashion to how value_type was being used. I am writing up an issue to track this bug and can respond back here when it is resolved.

Thank you for the quick update! Can you provide any tentative timeline for this fix?

Hello! Thank you for patience, you should now be able to use type as a query parameter going forward.
