Are you kidding me?? The new product page is a bad joke - fields are hidden, you can no longer tab between fields, and it’s a general POS, and basically takes twice as long to input information. There have been plenty of patently stupid updates out of shopify in the last 2 years, but this one takes the cake.

AGREED

  • Not only has the latest update increased workflow by adding more scrolling and clicks to view vital information like the barcode, the inventory columns on the product page do not total at the bottom either. This update has hindered functionality and provided no added value or benefit.

And WTF?! I spend several minutes adding and arranging images and then they’re gone. Shopify you are just the worst - altho it will be a huge amount of work I can’t take any more of this crap and I am seeking out a new vendor.
