Metaobject References in Exports Now Include Namespace

17 April 2025

Ablestar Bulk Product Editor now includes a metaobject's namespace/type in the export in the format metaobject_namespace.metaobject-handle. Previously, just the value metaobject-handle would be exported. This change improves compatibility with other apps that cannot automatically determine the metaobject's type from the metafield definition.

When you edit metaobject reference metafields with a spreadsheet you can now optionally include the namespace. Setting a metaobject reference can be done any of the following ways:

  • my_object.my-object-a
  • my-object-b
  • gid://shopify/Metaobject/69540970577

And lists can be updated in a similar fashion:

  • my_object.my-object-a, my_object.my-object-b, my_object.my-object-c
  • my-object-b,my-object-a
  • ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/69540970577", "gid://shopify/Metaobject/69540905041"]
