When a column header and your metafield definition disagree on the type, the import used to skip the field. Now it goes with the definition and brings the value in.
🐛 Fixes#
- Metafield types - When a column header specifies a type (like
[string]) that differs from your store’s metafield definition, Altera now imports using the definition’s type instead of rejecting the value. Previously the mismatched metafield was skipped. - Google Shopping metafields - Re-importing an export of
mm-google-shoppingfields, which Shopify stores with the legacystringtype, now updates cleanly against the modernsingle_line_text_fielddefinitions (see the Google Shopping metafields guide).
