## Metaobject and metaobject_list theme settings now available

We've added two new theme setting types: [`metaobject`](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/settings/input-settings#metaobject) and [`metaobject_list`](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/settings/input-settings#metaobject_list) so theme and app developers can write sections and blocks that consume [metaobjects](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/custom-data#about-metaobjects) of a specified type.

For theme store themes, developers must only use [standard metaobject definitions](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/custom-data/metaobjects/list-of-standard-definitions) since custom metaobject definitions are unique to a store. 

Learn more about the new `metaobject` and `metaobject_list` theme settings on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/settings/input-settings#metaobject).
