Editing Dimension Metafields
With Shopify you have the ability to create metafield definitions for dimensions like weight, length and volume.
You can use Ablestar Bulk Product Editor to edit these values. Choose if you prefer the 'In-App Edit' or 'Spreadsheet' method:
1. In-App Edits
There are two options available to bulk edit dimensions:
- Set to Value
- Delete Metafield
Setting the Dimension field also includes a required unit of measurement selection.
2. Spreadsheet Edits
Spreadsheet formatting
Prep your spreadsheet to include new or updated dimension data, noting that the unit of measurement has to be included.

Adding the units of measurement to the fields will work in this format:
Supported Units
Accepted units of measurement include:
- Weights: g, oz, kg, lb
- Lengths: mm, cm, m, in, ft, yd
- Volumes: ml, cl, l, m3, fl_oz, pt, qt, gal, imp_fl_oz, imp_pt, imp_qt, imp_gal
✅ Tips and Troubleshooting
- Setting any Dimension field also includes a required unit of measurement selection
- Currently, there is no way to set a default unit type for an entire metafield definition
