Wow. I think you just saved me a ton of work that I was going to put into writing an app to manage product properties.

Came to here from an older video and after reading the comments, seems this is the updated one that uses the shopify built-in stuff. Thanks

Hi Robby, when you're working in VS Code, it might be easier to have your picture-in-picture (talking head) on the left side so the code you're demonstrating isn't cut off. Thanks for the video, nicely done!

Hi Rob, in the section block, after applying the dynamic values, how will the Label will be assigned to the Label and Value to the Value field ?

Thanks for the helpful info Robby! Partially thanks to your tutorials, we were able to build metaobject pages each showing information about our ingredients. And we were able to list the ingredients on each product page. However, I can't figure out how to show the products on each metaobject page. It doesn't seem possible, but also seems like a likely use case of this functionality. Do you have a tutorial on this?

Thanks in advance if you can shed some light. We sell car styling kits, hundreds of products but there’re only few styles and colours, while for many different car models.
Is there a feature within shopify, or an app will let us create individual modules of product description, such as modules for each style description; modules for each colour description; modules for each car models. So we can pre-create all those modules and store in the system. When compose description for a product, we can just select its relevant style module; colour module; and compatible car model module, instead of have to repeatedly write up description for each product. Maybe it’s like metafield with pre-filled contents, not under each product, but store in the system and available for each product to select and utilise.

Hi Robby, can we add a video via metafield? Or a data table?

Nice video, wondering would this be a way or what would be the best way if possible to add an option where when the customer selects an upgrade option that it would charge an additional fee added to that option? ive gotten custom options to work no problem but linking an extra charge to an option i cant get to work correctly. and have yet to see any videos on that or know if its even possible on shopify currently?

hi, what if i have to give all specs in one entry in table format is it possible?
i am trying to add the product spec using the meteobjects, in the meta object i have created many fields i want see the name and values in the table format

[someradtunesimade]

hey robby, thanks for the video! one concern: if I have say 50 products, then I'll have 150 metaobjects related to each one's height, width, and weight. How do we solve this problem of so many disorganized metaobjects that are being referenced to different products?

[scryze_offical]

Hello Robby,

Is it possible to move metafields to another store without data just the structure?

[mikevsamy]

Those metaobject values aren't unique to each product though right? If you then change "Width" to "30 inches", it will change everywhere.

Hi @codingwithrobby, do you do consulting?
