Custom Field dont always load

[DianaZeig]

Pop up states that the custom field have been loaded... yet they are no where to be found. This happens 3 out of the 10 times that i use it.

This app is amazing when it works!

I noticed some similar side effects in ShopifyFD so I had needed to delay some of the processes. I'd assume that the Shopify Admin isn't loading the html elements as fast as it did so the scripts on the extension side are being called to early.

I've got some thoughts on how to better approach this. Thanks for the heads up.

Hum, how long is the delay? Maybe I’m not as patient as what you have it set for lol.

This is how I am currently getting around the issue. Not sure if this will help you diagnose the problem.

Goal add new product.

1. Duplicate similar product.
2. Change all shopify html and built data fields
3. Save shopify.
4. Search the product using the product name
5. Click the “load custom fields" button - it loads
6. Fill in that data
7. Save custom field
8. Start over from step one.

Trying to click the “load custom fields” anytime before step 4 will lead to the custom fields loading but the fields will not display.

Thank you,

Diana

"ShopifyFD Dashboard Tool" worked but "Custom Fields for Shopify" did not work.

I started with chrome extension "Custom Fields for Shopify" -

I tried the:

We need to add a Shop level metafield to let the CF know what to show ... For now add a metafield with the namespace of c_f, a key name of video_url.

but only the menu item "Custom Fields" on the left came up. No "Metafields" panel came up.

Next I tried the "ShopifyFD Dashboard Tool" and all worked as shown in the docs. I got the "Metafields" panel etc and could add values.

Is it related or a new issue?
