# The behavior of HasMetafields.metafields has changed

As of Storefront API version 2022-07, we're deprecating the `HasMetafields.metafields` paginated connection in the Storefront API. This connection enabled you to paginate over all visible metafields in a given resource.

`HasMetafields.metafields` now accepts a list of metafield namespaces and keys, and returns a list of associated metafields that match the given namespaces and keys.

The updated endpoint is available in unstable, and will be part of the 2022-07 release. The existing paginated behaivor is available in 2022-04 and prior supported stable versions.

For more information, refer to the [`HasMetafields`](https://shopify.dev/api/storefront/unstable/interfaces/hasmetafields) interface.
