Hi @LucaHolland
Unfortunately, no. I just accepted there was a bug and so far there hasn’t really been customer issues with it.
Topic summary
Issue: A Shopify Script Editor line item script that limits product quantity (e.g., max 1) removes excess units but interferes with removal. When attempting to delete the item (decrement to 0 or trash icon), it briefly goes to 0, then returns to 1 with the message “You can only add 1 of this item to your cart.” A second removal attempt succeeds.
Repro (with Shopify’s example script):
- Add item, increase to 2 → excess removed, quantity = 1, limit message shown.
- Decrease to 0 or trash → quantity snaps back to 1, message persists.
- Remove again → item finally removed.
Status: No confirmed fix; original poster accepted it as a bug. Another user reports similar behavior (item re-added after removal).
Proposed approach: A custom Ruby script using product tags (e.g., lqty:5) to set per-item limits. It uses instance_variable_set to cap quantity and adds a “Max Quantity Limit Reached” property. A code gist is attached and central to understanding the suggestion.
New request: Apply a single max quantity across variants/types (e.g., total of 7 stickers across colors). This cart-wide limit question remains unanswered.
Outcome: Unresolved; no definitive solution or decision yet.
