On a shopify plus store I’m working with, we implemented a script that runs on AWS Lambda and updates a custom metafield ‘shipping_date’ every night to reflect the correct amount of business days before a product can be shipped out. This was working perfectly (and still is), but I checked the admin panel today, and saw some weird behaviour.
I don’t believe my script is the cause of this, but somehow now all custom metafields in the products have a placeholder value ‘#{" "}’. I didn’t even fetch or update all of these products, nor any of the metafields except for the 1 ‘shipping_date’ value. The shipping date is also still correctly updated, so that’s why I don’t think this behavior is caused by my script.
How did this happen, and have others noticed a similar behavior, a sudden placeholder value? I’m not sure how to immediately resolve this.
