Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
Shopify just upgraded our theme editor to 2.0, but our theme is 1.0. There is very problematic behavior I've noticed.
In order to differentiate blocks, the previous theme editor would display a title from the schema if id was set using
"id": "title"
This was discussed here: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-Design/Dynamically-Name-Section-Blocks-to-differentiate-many...
Now in the 2.0 editor, your 1.0 theme blocks show a generic title even with the id set to title in the schema. This is a huge problem if you have a lot of blocks and you need to see what they are. For example we were using blocks to set custom color swatches. Here is what it looks like in 1.0 editor versus 2.0:
We can no longer see what a color swatch is without clicking on each one. I'm noticing this behavior everywhere in the theme where blocks are used in a section. Every block has a generic title for the type of block.
Is there some change that can be made in the schema to bring the title back?
sorry for that issue
its Shopify update theme setting you this is new feature
Yes, I've also noticed this, and would to hear of a solution or update on a fix.
I have this issue also, it makes the new editor a lot harder to use. Would really like to see this fixed.
Looks like this has been fixed now!?
I believe so. I had communication with shopify support and they implemented it. Wasn't sure if it was rolled out to everyone, but it seems like it should be.
Hi @nkc ,
Could you please advise how the Support team implement the fix or if we need to update our code?
I believe this is still an issue for many of us 🙂
Many thanks!

Hi @PriscillaY
They had informed me in my support ticket that they implemented the fix. I didn't change anything on my end and it seems to be working how the old editor did. Screenshot attached to compare to my original post.
