Bulk Deleting Metafields
You can use Ablestar Bulk Product Editor to delete multiple metafields at a time. Choose if you prefer the 'In-App Edit' or 'Spreadsheet' method:
1. In App-Edits
Search and filter for the set of products you would like to modify and then from the 'Configure modifications' view:
- Choose the metafield from the 'Field to edit' box
- Select Delete metafield from the list 'How to edit' dropdown
- Click the Run edit button
Tip: if you want to delete multiple metafields at once, click on the blue plus sign + add modification button. This will let you modify multiple fields at once
2. Spreadsheet Edits
For a spreadsheet edit you need to specify an identifier in the first column and then action items in the 2nd and subsequent columns, similar to:
- An identifier column (SKU, Handle, Product ID, etc..)
- An action column that contains the text
delete
Spreadsheet values are case-insensitive and leading/trailing spaces will be removed during processing. Click the related article to see more advanced spreadsheet detail.
