Streamlined Metaobject API
Shopify developer change
MerchantDiff detected this entry in Shopify's official developer changelog on June 11, 2026.
This Shopify update is categorized as API, New, Admin GraphQL API, 2026-07.
What changed
It’s now easier to work with metaobjects. With the new values property, you can fetch all fields of a metaobject in a single call without handling deserialization in your app. The API returns a JSON-compatible object that’s ready to use directly. You can also use values when creating or updating metaobjects. Provide a JSON-style object that matches your metaobject’s field keys, and the API handles serialization for you.
