Add a description to a Shopify Function version

Dev Platform

I want to add a description to the Shopify Function version.
How can I specify this after deployment?

If you want to add a description after deployment, specifying it as follows will attempt to create a new version:
shopify app deploy --no-release --version=4 --message=test

Hey @Hirano, I did some testing, and I believe this is expected behaviour (that you can’t change the description for an already deployed version of the app, but I wanted to confirm if this is what you’re trying to do? Just wanted to make sure I am understanding your use case here so I can look into this further internally for you.

Hope to hear from you soon!

I want change the description for an already deployed version of the app. I believe it used to be possible. I’d be happy if editing became possible, but I just wanted to confirm.

Thanks for confirming @Hirano , I did some more testing on my end and it doesn’t appear to be possible, but I will confirm internally and loop back with you here once I have more info. Thanks for your patience on this, it’s really appreciated :slight_smile:

Hey again @Hirano, following up here with some info. I was able to confirm that this is indeed expected behaviour going forward (where messages/descriptions can’t be updated on existing versions). My understanding is that this wasn’t possible in the Partner Dashboard either, but if you’re able to share replication steps, I’m happy to take a further look to confirm this.

I’ll set up a feature request for you though so that we can look at enabling updating descriptions/messages for existing app versions. I can’t guarantee if/when we’d look at implementing this, but I just wanted to follow up to let you know I’ll log that feature suggestion on my end here for you. If you’d like to share your use case for this, that would be super helpful and appreciated too. Please let me know if I can help out with anything else on my end. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your message. The Partner Dashboard has already been replaced with the developer version, so I can’t reproduce the situation.

In general, updating messages isn’t necessary as long as I remember to include them when releasing a version. However, if I forget, I have to create a new version just to add the message.

Thanks for clarifying @Hirano . I’ll add your feedback to the feature request on my end. Let me know if I can help with anything else!
