Custom Fields installed but not able to add shop level metafield #31

Closed julbr closed 8 years ago

I've installed the Chrome extension (also tried the bookmarklet on Safari), and I see the section 'Custom Fields' in the Admin product page /admin/products/xxx, which shows "No custom fields found". When I go to /admin/settings/general though, there is not Custom Fields section... So i'm stuck without being able to add shop level metafield. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! Your tool looks great, I hope I can use it and eventually donate!

The Custom Fields tool was originally conceived as a tool that developers might give to their clients. As such, the developer would add the setup metafields before handing the project over to the client so the client just had to run to tool and go (and not worry about the setup side).

If you need to add the setup metafields you could use:

It is a common request for the setup to be part of the tool directly so version 2 of the tool (in production) will give those controls.

Not everyone needs to use Custom Fields tool either. For some ShopifyFD is perfect and others might prefer to use the built in metafield editor that's part of the Shopify bulk editing tool.
