When working with metafields in the Shopify admin, the metafield names are displayed clearly — but the handles (e.g. custom.code, custom._color_code) are not visible without digging into the API or using workarounds.
It would be very helpful to have the handle displayed next to or below each metafield name, similar to how product handles are shown under product titles. This would make it much easier to reference metafields when writing Liquid code, configuring apps, or working with the API — without needing to leave the admin or make additional queries.
This is a small UI change that could save developers and merchants a significant amount of time.
Hey @Daniel_Rashi - thanks for flagging. I can definitely see how having that visible beside the display name in Admin would save some context switching when working in Liquid, apps, or the API.
Today, the supported way to confirm it is still through the metafield definition under Settings > Metafields and metaobjects, but I agree that is not super ideal when you’re editing values or wiring things up elsewhere. I’ll pass this along as product feedback for the Custom Data/Admin experience.
In the meantime, if there’s a specific Admin surface where this is causing the most friction, like product editing, metaobject editing, or definition lists, feel free to share that too since it helps clarify the request.
