Shopify Forms supports form-specific field creation and storage

You can now create fields on Shopify Forms that let you edit, manage and save data to submissions stored in metaobjects, without requiring the creation of a customer metafield to store all submission data on the customer record.

Previously, customer metafields were the only option for storing responses from form submissions. However, if a customer submitted multiple responses, only the latest submission was retained, and each form field required a separate metafield in customer profiles. Additionally, updating metafield data in one form could inadvertently affect its use in other services. Now, you can choose whether each custom field in a form maps to the customer profile or to a metaobject that stores the full form submission.
