This guide configures Table details for list and table (row) product layouts. It does not add those metafields to grid product cards. For grid versus row behavior and metafields that grid cards support out of the box, see Metafields on product cards.
Using metafields, you can display custom data within your product table. This allows for enhanced product comparisons and detailed information display. Display SKU's, product id's, or any other additional product information within the table!
Available in Keystone 1.3.0+
Add custom data to tables via Theme settings

Configure Table details
Scroll to the bottom to find Table details (Keystone 1.3.0+). Add the metafield(s) you want to display in your product tables. Supports both product and variant metafields (e.g., custom.weight).
To show total stock across all locations in variant tables, add the variant metafield custom.total_inventory_all_locations to Table details. Populate this metafield on each variant to display combined inventory from all locations.
