We've made several improvements to how the app handles file reference metafields in spreadsheet edits. Now, when you set a file reference metafield, you can enter any of the following:
- File name (
example.jpg) - URL (
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0111/2222/2222/files/example.jpg?v=1759860081) - GID for the file (
gid://shopify/MediaImage/123)
If you use a file name or a cdn.shopify.com URL from your own store, the app will connect the file reference to that existing file. Otherwise, the app will upload the provided URL to your files section and link the product to that new file.
This also works for list.file_reference metafields. To include multiple files just separate them by commas. Eg, example.jpg,cat.jpg,dog.jpg.
