Sense theme: Hide other variant media when selected not working

Topic summary

A user is trying to configure the Sense theme to display only the selected variant’s images when a color variant is chosen on the product page. The feature isn’t working in mobile view, and they want it functional on desktop as well.

Current Status:

  • The user mentions knowing this can be achieved through metafields but lacks specific implementation details
  • A screenshot was shared showing the issue
  • A test store URL was provided for reference

Follow-up:
A second user later observed that the original poster appears to have resolved the issue and requested details on the solution. They note that updating variant alt descriptions (a common method for variant image filtering) didn’t work for them.

Resolution Status: The thread remains open with no solution shared publicly, though the problem may have been solved privately.

Want to only show selected variants images when color variant is selected, I know there is a way to do this via metafields but can’t find any info on it. Not working in mobile view but also want this to work in desktop.

Hello. I see from your website that you solved this issue. Would you mind sharing how you did it? I have updated all the variant alt descriptions but it seems to make no difference at all. Thank you!
