Hey,
I am wondering if it is possible to make new category metafields, so that they are linked to product type (like the standard metaobjects)?
Also, is it possible to aggregate say materials for different product type metaobjects into a single object ot display on the front end?
anyone have a really good guide on how to use metaobjects? just getting start on them
Cheers,
Chris
Chris -
Taking your questions one at a time:
**I am wondering if it is possible to make new category metafields, so that they are linked to product type (like the standard metaobjects)?

Yes it is possible. We call them custom conditional Metafields. You can see how to create them here: Conditional metafield definitions
Here’s more you can read from the merchant admin perspective: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/custom-data/metafields/category-metafields/add-category-metafields
Also, is it possible to aggregate say materials for different product type metaobjects into a single object ot display on the front end?
If I understand what you are asking - yes it is possible. You can create a Metaobject with reference fields to other Metaobjects. Those fields can either be singular or a list. They can either take a single Metaobject type or a Mixed List of Metaobject types. Here is a rundown on referencing Metaobjects: Connecting metaobjects to other entities
anyone have a really good guide on how to use metaobjects? just getting start on them
The best place to get started is right here: About metafields and metaobjects
Hope this helps!
