Prepare scoped updates to product metafield values
An operator needs to change many product records while preserving fields outside the requested scope. In this case, the immediate task is to prepare scoped updates to product metafield values. The workflow should produce a bulk change preview and exception report, using the merchant's actual records and constraints.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me prepare scoped updates to product metafield values.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [provide selected product IDs, current values, exact edit rule, exclusions and original export]. Apply only the specified transformation, preview old and new values, validate excluded products and retain a reversible record of proposed changes.
Use the supplied field namespace, key, value type and product identifiers; validate values against that provided schema.
Return a bulk change preview and exception report for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.Scenario & problem

FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Why preview a bulk edit?
A rule that looks correct on one record can affect unrelated products or empty fields when applied widely.
Can a bulk edit be undone automatically?
That depends on the system and available history. Preserve original values so a restoration plan can be prepared without assuming an undo feature exists.
Why does the custom field type matter?
A number, text value and reference are not interchangeable. The value must match the intended field structure to remain usable.
