BUG: Liquid metafield_text filter stopped working on legacy integer type

Custom Data

I’d like to report a possible bug related to the Liquid metafield_text filter and the legacy integer metafield type.

The following Liquid recently stopped working and now only returns an empty string:

{{ product.metafields.bsi[“sales-rank”] | metafield_text }}

Could someone from Shopify look into this issue? I am happy to provide a link to a product in my dev store if you’d like to investigate using my existing metafields.

Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom,
I can take a look at this - a link to your dev store would be super helpful.
Thanks,

Excellent. Thanks Katherine. I appreciate you looking into this.

Here is a link to my dev store:

And this product handle has the metafield set: ghostbusters-playstation-4

I’m guessing you don’t need the store password but if you do please let me know.

Thanks Tom! We’ve identified the problem - it was due to a bug fix we shipped recently that then exposed a problem with the metafield_text filter’s handling of integers. We have a fix in progress and I’ll update here again once it’s shipped.
