What is the typical syntax for a Liquid object with a metafield?

The typical syntax for accessing a metafield in Shopify Liquid is structured as "object.metafield.namespace.key". In the context of the question, when referencing a metafield associated with a product, the syntax "product.metafield.instructions" directly aligns with this structure, where "product" is the object, "metafield" is a property of that object, and "instructions" represents the specific metafield key.

Using the correct syntax allows you to retrieve the metafield value that has been defined for the product. This structured access is important since metafields are often used to store additional information about products, collections, or other resources within Shopify, and understanding how to reference them correctly is crucial for theme development.

Other options do not follow the established syntax for metafields. Specifically, they either misplace the metafield keyword, attempt to access it incorrectly, or don't relate accurately back to the object being referenced. This highlights the importance of adhering to the correct format to ensure data is accessed properly in the Liquid template language.
