What the app team should do
Update any GraphQL queries that filter by metafields to ensure the metafield has a definition, the definition is configured to allow filtering, and the metafield type supports the filter/comparison used; then test the updated queries on version 2026-10 to confirm they return without errors.
How to plan the migration
Starting with API version 2026-10, invalid metafield predicates in GraphQL Admin API queries will no longer be silently ignored; they will produce an error. App teams should inventory metafield-filter usage in GraphQL queries and validate each metafield definition and comparison used to avoid failures or incorrect results after upgrading.
