Thanks for reporting this too @tim_tairli. Just to clarify to make sure I’m understanding correctly here, is what you’re seeing essentially that when a collection or blog is selected via section settings, Shopify only seems to surface a capped subset (about 50 items) that paginate can’t extend, and that re-querying the same resource by handle (collections[...]/blogs[...]) or using a metafield reference returns a full object that respects paginate?
Just wanted to make sure I’m understanding the behaviour you’re seeing there.
Yes, exactly like this.
If I get an object (say, collection) from settings and try to paginate its property list (collection.products) there is no error, paginate object looks fine, but pagination size I request is silently ignored. Its’ fixed at 50, can’t make it more or less.
I mentioned metafields here because the “magic” is very similar – settings/metafield only store the GID , but when referred, it’s converted to an actual object. But in case of settings it’s kinda handicapped
Thanks @tim_tairli , appreciate you confirming this! I’ll do some further digging on my end to see if we can confirm expected behaviour here as well/if we need to make any changes on our end.
I’ll loop back with you as soon as I have more info.
