# Custom content for tables

## Displaying metafield content in product tables

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](https://help.brickspacelab.com/keystone/guides/products/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**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the theme editor**

In Shopify, go to Online Store > Themes and click **Customize** on the theme you want to update.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Navigate to Product cards**

In the left panel, open **Theme settings > Product cards**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**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`).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

**Create your metafields in Shopify**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Add a product metafield definition**

In your Shopify admin, go to **Settings > Custom data > Products**, then click **Add definition**. For example, create a definition for **Weight** with namespace and key like `custom.weight` and choose an appropriate type (e.g., Multi-line text).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Optional) Create a metaobject definition**

If you want to manage richer structured content, create a **Metaobject** in **Settings > Custom data > Metaobjects** and relate it via a metafield.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Assign data to products**

Open a product in the Shopify admin, scroll to **Metafields**, and enter values for the metafield(s) you created.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Display custom data in the Product Comparison section**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Add a Metafield block**

In the theme editor, open a page that uses the **Product Comparison** section. Click **Add block** and select **Metafield**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Choose which metafield to show**

In the block settings, select the product or variant metafield (e.g., `custom.weight`) to display within the table.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save**

Click **Save** and verify the table shows your custom data.
{% endstep %}
