Change linked option metafields via import

Try Altera for free

Import and export Shopify data with ease. Matrixify-compatible.

Available on Shopify App Store

Options linked to the wrong metafield no longer mean re-linking products one by one in the Shopify admin.


🚀 What’s New
#

  • Re-link options via import - the Option Linked To column can now change which metafield an already-linked option points to, keeping all variant IDs intact.
  • All directions supported - switch between Shopify standard metafields (like shopify.size) and your own custom metafields, in either direction.

🔧 Improvements
#

  • Safe by default - the re-link only runs when every option value has a matching metaobject entry in the new type; otherwise the import reports the missing handles and leaves the option unchanged (see PRD074).
  • Less setup - missing metafield definitions are created automatically when a matching metaobject definition exists, and Shopify standard entries are created from the taxonomy.
