Metaobject fields support reference types for Blog, Blog post, Collection, Company, Customer, Metaobject, Order, Page, Product, and Product variant — but there’s no reference type for Market.
As a workaround, I’ve created a “Markets” metaobject to stand in for actual Markets, but it’d be nice not to need that extra layer of indirection. A true market_reference type would let custom data reference a real Market directly.
Any chance this could get added to the list of reference types?
Hey @Colby - just confirming this is a current limitation. Markets can have metafields attached to them, but they aren’t currently supported as a reference target for metafields/metaobject fields, so there isn’t a market_reference type available right now.
The “Markets” metaobject workaround you mentioned is the best available path at the moment, though I definitely get why that extra indirection isn’t ideal.
Could you share a bit more about the use case you’re building around this? Specifically, are you trying to connect market-specific content/configuration to a metaobject, render Market-specific content in Liquid/Storefront API, or manage this mostly in Admin? That context would help make the feature request clearer on our end. Hope to speak soon!
Yes… You nailed it in the head! It’s exactly ALL of this!
Hey again @Colby - appreciate you confirming! I’ve logged this as a feature request on our end as well. Let me know if I can help with anything else on my side.
