  mutation

  Updates a [`Metaobject`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Metaobject) with new field values, handle, or capabilities. [Metaobjects](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/custom-data#what-are-metaobjects) are custom data structures that extend Shopify's data model.

  You can modify field values mapped to the metaobject's [`MetaobjectDefinition`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/MetaobjectDefinition), update the handle for a unique identifier, and adjust capabilities like publishing status. When updating the handle, you can optionally create a redirect from the old handle to maintain existing references.
