Why can't I select the metafield containing file in dawn theme product page?

Topic summary

Issue: On a product page, the Dawn theme’s Collapsible row block doesn’t allow selecting a product metafield that contains a file.

Context: A metafield (custom data field) of type “file” was created. The question is whether it can be linked to the Collapsible row content. “Storefronts” refers to allowing the metafield to be accessible in the theme editor.

Key points:

  • One view: Collapsible row does not support file inputs; enabling file selection would require custom theme code changes to that block.
  • Another view: Create a new metafield and ensure “Storefronts” is selected so it can be connected in the editor; this may resolve the selection issue.

Actions suggested:

  • Recreate the metafield as type “file” with Storefronts access enabled and test connection.
  • If still unsupported, modify the Collapsible row code to accept file-type metafields or use a block that supports files.

Status: No confirmation from the original poster; outcome unresolved. A screenshot was provided showing the settings interface, which is central to the discussion.

Hi @stra10 ,

Does the metafield you create have the same type as collapsible row? Or when you created the metafield you selected ‘Storefronts’

i didn’t select storefront.

i only did “select type” and chose “file”

Its boz collapsible row don’t support file upload feature to support file upload you have to edit the custom code of collapsible row. Which will give you the option to select file.

Hi @stra10 ,

You can try creating a new metafield and select storefront to test, it will connect fine
