metafieldsSet - admin-graphql - MUTATION

Version: unstable

Description:

Sets metafield values. Metafield values will be set regardless if they were previously created or not. Allows a maximum of 25 metafields to be set at a time. This operation is atomic, meaning no changes are persisted if an error is encountered. As of `2024-07`, this operation supports compare-and-set functionality to better handle concurrent requests. If `compareDigest` is set for any metafield, the mutation will only set that metafield if the persisted metafield value matches the digest used on `compareDigest`. If the metafield doesn't exist yet, but you want to guarantee that the operation will run in a safe manner, set `compareDigest` to `null`. The `compareDigest` value can be acquired by querying the metafield object and selecting `compareDigest` as a field. If the `compareDigest` value does not match the digest for the persisted value, the mutation will return an error. You can opt out of write guarantees by not sending `compareDigest` in the request.

Access Scopes

the same access level needed to mutate the owner resource. For instance, if you want to set a metafield on a product, you need the same permissions as you would need to mutate a product.

Arguments

• metafields: MetafieldsSetInput! - The list of metafield values to set. Maximum of 25.

Returns

• metafields: Metafield The list of metafields that were set.
• userErrors: MetafieldsSetUserError! The list of errors that occurred from executing the mutation.

Examples

• Creating and updating metafields
