Hey all,

Is there a way/workflow to add & remove options in an option set from the front end?

I’ve built out a majority of an inventory management platform using an option set for the products’ “product categories”, thinking they were static but the client now wants the ability to add/remove product categories on their own.

Thanks in advance!

No, there isn’t.

Definitely makes more sense to me for categories to be a custom (dynamic) data type.

Agreed - I should have anticipated that the client would want it to be dynamic down the line. Was hoping there would be a workaround since a majority of the app is built already.

Thanks anyway!
