Auto-Populating Product Specifications Tables

️How it Works in BoltTheme

In the product page sections (product-tabs.liquid and product-immersive-main.liquid), the theme checks for:

• show_metafields Toggle: When enabled, the theme loops through the selected metafield namespace (default: custom).
• Dynamic Table Generation: The theme automatically renders a table row for each metafield in that namespace:

* Left Column: Metafield name (underscores replaced with spaces, capitalized).
* Right Column: Metafield value.

️Step-by-Step Configuration Guide

Follow these steps to create your dynamic specifications tables:

Step 1: Create Metafields under Shopify Admin

Create metafield definitions for the specifications you want to display (e.g. Dimensions, Weight, Material, Battery Life):

1. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Custom Data > Products.
2. Click Add definition.
3. Set the Name to your specification (e.g. Material or Battery Life).
4. Set the Namespace and key (ensure it uses the custom namespace, e.g. custom.material or custom.battery_life).
5. Set the Type (e.g. Single line text).
6. Click Save.

Repeat this step for each specification row you want to display in your table.

Step 2: Populate Specification Values on Products

1. Navigate to Shopify Admin > Products.
2. Click on a product to edit it.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Metafields card.
4. Input the values for your specifications (e.g., set Material to Aluminum, Battery Life to 40 Hours).
5. Click Save.

Step 3: Enable the Specifications Table in the Theme Editor

1. Open the Theme Editor and navigate to your Product page template.
2. Select the Product Tabs block (or Product Main Info depending on layout).
3. Scroll down in the block settings sidebar.
4. Check the Auto-include metafields checkbox.
5. In the Metafield Namespace input field, ensure it is set to custom (or your custom namespace).
6. The theme will automatically construct a clean specifications table listing all metafield details for the product.
