You can change the value from both the Shipturtle app and Shopify, and the changes will be reflected in both places.
Additional Information
Unpinned Metafields: When creating a metafield on Shopify, it’s placed under the UNPINNED metafield list. Shopify has limits on PINNED metafields, so they are created sparingly. However, you can easily move a metafield to the PINNED list using the Shopify admin interface.
Compatibility: Shipturtle does not currently support syncing existing metafields created from Shopify. For compatibility, create and delete metafields directly from the Shipturtle platform.
Image Metafields: Shopify does not allow inserting images in metafields directly. Images inserted in Shipturtle will be converted to URLs in Shopify metafields. With the help of your website developer, you can display these URLs as images on your website.
