[QUESTION] Products not showing in the Custom fields. Have i configured it wrong ?

❓ Question

I cannot see Products in the custom fields.
How do I need to setup Webhooks to find products?
The custom Product field shows no products even though i have active products that can be seen by my Node App.

🔍 What I've Tried

• I did the setup for the plugins config in plugins.ts and in the strapi admin ui.

• I added the middleware change in middlewares.ts as seen in the config.

• I made sure my Products can be seen from my Shopify App (can fetch them with REST / Graphql)

• I have configured the Plugin with my shops credentials. I have made sure that the credentials can fetch products by using them in a normal REST call and it works there as id expect it.

• I setup webhooks for CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE and assigned it a collection type that has only the field Product (this libraries custom field). In Shopify i setup the corresponding Webhooks for creating/updating and deleting a product. When i click on the test this Webhook button i get a Validation error in strapi
  [2025-07-01 11:36:31.072] error: Validation failed

📚 Additional Context

• Strapi Version: v5.16.1
• Node Version: v20.19.3
• Im running Strapi behind an nginx reverse proxy

The products were there but it showed "No Results" in the Component until i searched for an exact name 😵‍💫
I expected a dropdown like when selecting relations in strapi. My bad

@Daniel-Theil it require at least 3 chars to put :) As I remember, there is a placeholder for this, correct me if I'm wrong?

[Daniel-Theil]

Thanks for the clarification. It's working properly now. I was initially confused because the placeholder says "Select a Product" which made it seem like a select instead of a search, and when the dropdown showed "No Results", i thought nothing was available.

To improve the UX, it might help to update the placeholder to something like "Search for Products" or to display 3 Products in the dropdown initially (like in the strapi relation field)
