Where can I locate the modified text in Dawn Theme backend code?

Topic summary

A user was trying to locate where they had previously modified text in the Dawn theme, specifically changing variant text to “Size: Please Select.” They initially searched in the backend code file product-variant-picker.liquid but couldn’t find the modification.

Resolution:
The text wasn’t changed in the theme code itself, but rather in the product settings. The modification was made by:

  • Navigating to Products > Select product > Variants section > Edit
  • Changing the “Option name” field directly in the variant settings

This approach modifies the variant option name at the product level rather than in the theme’s liquid files. The user confirmed this was where they had made the original change.

I changed the text awhile ago and had a hard time finding ti the first time, now I cant find it at all LOL! Can someone tell me where to find this in backend code? Thanks

Hey @xnyjyh ,

The code related to variant picker lies in this file product-variant-picker.liquid.

In that file you will find something like this

{{ option.name }}

That is where you might have changed the code.

Thanks

I have already been there. Its not there where i changed it. I changed it to “Size: Please Sselect” but it does not exists in that section;

Do you know where this is?

Ah okay, in that case you have renamed the option itself.

To fix that go into your Products > Select the product > Variants section > Edit

You will something similar to this. Here change the Option name field to desired value.
