Our site is currently live and we are upgrading the theme to 2.0 We have implemented some new functionalities using metafields. Can I just check how can we manage this using the app?

To manage your metafields while upgrading to Shopify 2.0 using the DataEase app, you can follow these steps: 1. Export Metafields: First, export your current metafields to a spreadsheet. You can do this by creating a new export in the DataEase app. Select the Products sheet and include the ID, Handle, and Metafields columns. This will allow you to see all the metafields associated with your products. 2. Edit Metafields: Once exported, you can edit the metafield values in the spreadsheet. Make sure to maintain the correct structure for each metafield type. For example, if a metafield is of type Dimension, ensure the value is in the correct JSON format like {"value":54.0,"unit":"m"}. 3. Import Metafields: After making the necessary changes, save the file and import it back into your Shopify store using the DataEase app. Upload the edited file in the Import section of the app. The app will analyze the data, and if everything looks correct, you can proceed with the import. 4. Check Updated Metafields: Once the import is complete, verify that your metafields are updated as expected in your Shopify store. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the tutorial on managing Shopify Metafields. If you need to display these metafields in your new theme, you might need to configure your theme to show them. This usually involves editing your theme's code.
