Removing visible_to_storefront_api field on metaobject field definitions

What's changing

The visibleToStorefrontApi field/input field is deprecated and removed from the unstable version of the GraphQL Admin API for the following types:

• MetaobjectFieldDefinition
• MetaobjectFieldDefinitionCreateInput
• MetaobjectFieldDefinitionUpdateInput
• StandardMetaobjectDefinitionFieldTemplate

Who's affected

• Anyone using visibleToStorefrontApi field or input field on a Metaobject field definition

NOTE: With the exception of StandardMetaobjectDefinitionFieldTemplate, this field was only ever exposed in unstable.

Why we're making this change

This field implies a system behaviour that doesn't exist. It isn't possible to toggle the storefront visibility of individual fields. The only storefront visibility controls are on the access fields of the metaobject definition itself.

Action required

If your app has a query or mutation that's referencing the visibleToStorefrontApi field on a Metaobject field definition, you need to remove that field.

Key dates

April 2, 2026: visibleToStorefrontApi field on metaobject field definitions will be removed from unstable and 2026-07
