Migrating Field Display Settings on Shopify 2.0 themes

When migrating or upgrading themes, fields, and widgets displayed from the Custom Fields app need to be re-added to the new theme. This process involves enabling the display option and adding the fields for display from the theme settings section.

Enabling the Display Option

For each section, click on the Display Fields option to access the Display Settings page.

On this page, select the new theme from the Display settings for dropdown, and then click on the Enable Full Width Area.

Note: The fields can be added and previewed on any theme, even if it's not published.

Once enabled, a list of all the fields will appear with a toggle to select which fields to display on the theme.

Once the fields to display are selected, click on the Save Display Settings option to save the changes.

Updating Theme Settings to show the fields & widgets

After selecting and saving the fields for display, open the Theme Settings by clicking on the  Open Theme Editor link at the top of the Enabled Fields section. 

In the Theme Editor, navigate to the page where the field should appear and add the Custom Fields section.

Once the section is added, the selected fields can be placed as blocks within the section and rearranged according to the preferred display position. For widgets added for display, styling options will appear in the block settings
