Bulk editing product metafield
As we’ve seen, metafields have three components: a namespace, a key, and a value. Once you know the namespace and key for your metafield, you can display it in the bulk editor by making small changes to the URL of the bulk editing page in the Shopify Admin.
Eg. Collection page: https://shopify.com/admin/bulk?resource_name=Collection&edit=metafields.c_f.subcategory:string
In this URL, c_f is the metafield’s namespace and subcategory is its key. You can replace these with values to match your use case. The string part of the URL tells Shopify about the type of data that we want to store in the metafield. The bulk editor is able to display five types of metafields – string, money, boolean, select and number.
