metafieldsDelete - admin-graphql - MUTATION

Version: 2025-01

Description:

Deletes multiple metafields in bulk.

Access Scopes

access defined by each metafield input `ownerId` scalar's type in a `MetafieldsSetInput` field. For example, setting a metafield on a `PRODUCT` requires the same access as mutating a `PRODUCT`.

Arguments

• metafields: MetafieldIdentifierInput! - A list of identifiers specifying metafields to delete. At least one identifier must be specified.

Returns

• deletedMetafields: MetafieldIdentifier List of metafield identifiers that were deleted, null if the corresponding metafield isn't found.
• userErrors: UserError! The list of errors that occurred from executing the mutation.

Examples

• Deletes a metafield by its ID
