Error on access.admin value MetafieldDefinitionInput

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting
1

Not sure what would be the best place to put this, so let me know if there is a better spot for bugs.

I’m creating a MetafieldDefinition by passing a MetafieldDefinitionInput. When using ctrl+k to get suggestions for the access.admin field, the options are: MERCHANT_READ and MERCHANT_READ_WRITE. But using those I get a userError telling me I can only use public_read_write

  1. The error is vague: “Setting this access control”. There are three possible options: admin, storeFront and customerAccount, so which one is “this access control” referencing? By testing different combinations I see only the admin one triggers the error, so why doesn’t it mention admin in the error?
  2. None of the above 3 (in the form ofMetafieldAdminAccessInput, MetafieldStorefrontAccessInput and MetafieldCustomerAccountAccessInput) accept a value of public_read_write according to the docs (also, aren’t these values always uppercase?)

Any merchant owned (not app reserved) metafields cant set admin access.

There’s more info in the guide, it tripped me up as well.
