ProductVariantsCreate/ProductVariantsUpdate mutations missing fields

Hi all,

Migrating product variants creation from REST to GrpahQL, I encountered the fact that some fields in the mutation are missing.
ProductVariant REST API allows to specify product variant cost, weight, weight_unit and sku, but these are not present in ProductVariantsCreate/ProductVariantsUpdate mutations.

Example POST request:

{
    "product": {
        "title": "Sprite Stasis Ball 65 cm",
        "body_html": "",
        "vendor": "TEST",
        "product_type": "GEAR",
        "published_at": "2018-10-16T09:26:25",
        "published_scope": "global",
        "tags": [],
        "variants": [{
                "option1": "O/S",
                "option2": "Blue",
                "price": "27",
                "cost": 10.8,
                "inventory_management": "shopify",
                "weight": 900,
                "weight_unit": "g",
                "sku": "10004011",
                "barcode": ""
            }, {
                "option1": "O/S",
                "option2": "Pink",
                "price": "27",
                "cost": 10.8,
                "inventory_management": "shopify",
                "weight": 900,
                "weight_unit": "g",
                "sku": "10004035",
                "barcode": ""
            }
        ],
        "options": [{
                "name": "SIZE",
                "position": 1,
                "values": [
                    "O/S"
                ]
            }, {
                "name": "COLOUR",
                "position": 2,
                "values": [
                    "Blue", "Pink"
                ]
            }
        ],
        "status": "draft"
    }
}

I would be very grateful for an information on how to update the missing fields (cost, weight, weight_unit, sku) using GraphQL mutation.

Hey Maxim

Those fields are on the Inventory Item on a Variant :blush:
You can specify them on the inputs to those queries where you specify some variant fields and the an inventory item property with additional fields.

Thank you Jordan, inventoryItemUpdate mutation works!
