Metaobjects import improvements and Matrixify compatibility
Enhanced metaobject imports with better field processing, improved error handling, and Matrixify-compatible grouping behavior.
July 30, 2025
We’ve improved metaobject imports with better field processing, enhanced error handling, and full Matrixify compatibility for grouping behavior.
π What’s New
- Matrixify-compatible grouping β when no ID or Handle columns are present, all rows will be grouped for the same metaobject, matching Matrixify behavior exactly.
π§ Improvements
- Enhanced field processing β metaobject fields now use the same robust reference resolution logic as metafields, ensuring consistent handling of file references, product references, and other reference types.
- Real-time API queries β removed caching in favor of direct API queries for each metaobject lookup, ensuring you always get the most current data from Shopify.
- Better error messages β added specific error codes
MOBJ004
andMOBJ005
for missing definition types and definition not found scenarios.
π Fixes
- Fixed error code typo β corrected
MBOJ002
toMOBJ002
for consistency with other metaobject error codes.
π Technical Details
These improvements ensure that:
- File references like
"image.jpg"
are properly resolved to Shopify file GIDs - List references are correctly formatted as JSON arrays
- Reference metafields work consistently between regular metafields and metaobject fields
- Error messages provide clear guidance on how to resolve import issues
