It seems like most product filters and search functions can use either metafields or tags. Is there an advantage to using one over the other? For example, many of our products have fancy and unusual color names. But the filter for color will need to use basic colors like "blue" or "red." Would it be best to add those basic color names as product tags or create a product metafield like "basic_colorname" and do it that way?

Thanks for any advice.

I'm preparing to import a bunch of products in a CSV and while testing a variable product I'm not able to get the stock quantity to import. The column in the CSV is labelled "Inventory quantity" just like in Shopify's example product CSV.

Not getting any errors, it's just that the inventory quantity always shows as 0 in Shopify after the import.

I was told by a database specialist familiar with Shopify that you can't import quantities with variable products. Is that right? Then why does Shopify's example product CSV show quantity values in the "Inventory quantity" column for the variable product they include?

Wondering if there's something I'm missing here--thanks.
