Why am I getting a product update error on extended variants graphql?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

  • Main issue: A product update GraphQL mutation that previously worked now errors with: “Cannot specify ‘options’ field when part of the ‘extended_variants_graphql’ beta.”

  • Context: The user is updating a product and appears to be enrolled in the extended_variants_graphql beta while including the ‘options’ field in the mutation.

  • Implication: The error indicates a constraint that disallows sending ‘options’ when participating in this beta, suggesting a recent change or enforcement in API behavior.

  • Status: No responses or workaround provided. The discussion remains open with the key question of how to update products without ‘options’ under this beta.

Hi ,

I am getting this error on a product update mutation recently, this was always working.

Cannot specify ‘options’ field when part of the ‘extended_variants_graphql’ beta.

Thanks,
