Invalid metafield queries now return errors in the GraphQL Admin API
Starting API version 2026-10, GraphQL Admin API returns errors for metafield filter queries on metafields not set up for filtering, instead of silently returning incorrect results.
Why it matters: Breaking change for any app or integration filtering resources by metafield. Queries that previously returned wrong results will now fail, requiring explicit filter configuration on metafield definitions before upgrading.
Action: Audit all GraphQL Admin API queries that filter by metafield; ensure target metafields are configured for filtering before upgrading to API 2026-10 or later.
