Render specific product/variant metafields or descriptions for component items

Sometimes a merchant needs to display extra information (like food allergy info) in the component items.
It would be great to have a feature where the Biscuits form can render information from specific product or variant metafields in a modal - or even render the products description in a modal.

Thanks for the requests everyone. We're working on this feature now due to the increase in requests for it. We really appreciate your feedback!
Can't provide an ETA yet as we're still designing the solution.
Thanks,

Use case 1:
Display allergen information on component items - either via description or metafield
Use case 2:
Display additional pricing information on component items (like base or unit price)
Use case 3:
Display a subtitle below the title on product cards
Use case 4:
Display a badge on the component item like 'POPULAR' or 'BEST SELLING'
Possible ways to display the information:
- Modal triggered by an icon or badge on the product card
- Tooltip triggered by an icon or badge on the product card
- Display and truncate information directly on the product card (like a subtitle)

Anthony Vita Could we replace the product/variant title on the product card with a Metafield?

Adam: Hi Adam, it would certainly be possible to make it appear as so - ie. hide the title with CSS so only the metafield value displays.
Just to explore this a bit more - if we made it so you could set a 'custom title' based on a metafield:
- would you expect this custom title to carry through to cart, checkout, and the final order?
- Or would it only show the custom title on the bundle page, and then show the original title everywhere else?
What's your use case for this? Is it to reduce the length of long titles?

Thanks for the reply.
We’d be happy for the original product title to display elsewhere, cart and checkout etc. But having the option for it to carry through would be nice.
The need for our use case is to shorten the product title on the bundle maker page. The bundle is for customers to select 6 flavours from about 80 options. The product titles include other details where in this instance we just want to keep it short and show the flavour name.
So the main aim is to make the bundle page and options more digestible.
