Siblings collection

Metafield editor

Feature introduced in Story 3.2.0

The second required metafield is theme.siblings

theme.siblings

The content type is: Text, Single line text.

This metafield maps each product to the correct collection handle for the siblings. The metafield is used to indicate which custom collection the product belongs to.

Back to creating the next metafield under Settings -> Metafields. Start by defining a Products metafield and name it Siblings collection. Then change the Namespace from my_fields to theme and the key to simply siblings.

Important step: Rename my_fields to theme

Save the definition.

Check the saved metafield

Your second metafield should look like this:

The content type is Text and the style is Single line text.

Next step
