Minting the batch directly from drafts

Hi Manifold team,

My wallet address: 0x682912229d1bf47dc72340abab3b86a3897e1a5b

DNForum CLUB NFT series

I think I may have an issue with my 10,000 NFT project.

I created the collection in Manifold Studio as an ERC-721 edition/claim page. The project was prepared in 50 draft batches, each with 200 NFTs.

At the beginning, we uploaded CSV files and then minted the NFTs one by one from the sales/claim page. After a few months, I noticed Manifold had some updates. I opened the edition page drafts, clicked into one of the 200-item batches, and minted the full batch at once.

The NFTs appear on OpenSea, and I can now see more than 500 NFTs minted. But the issue is:

  1. The newly minted NFTs do not show traits/attributes.
  2. The numbering on the mint page does not match the real minted supply.
  3. The mint page shows only 101 minted, probably because the first NFTs were minted manually one by one earlier.

Did I make a mistake by minting the batch directly from drafts instead of through the claim page/custom reveal flow? Will the metadata/traits update automatically, or do I need to re-upload/fix the CSV metadata for those minted tokens?

Could you please tell me the safest way to fix this without damaging the already minted NFTs?

Thank you.

I’m currently having an issue with my DNForum NFT collection and maybe someone here has experience with this.

After minting the batches, the traits are not showing correctly on OpenSea. The traits only appear on the first 101 NFTs that I minted manually myself.
All newer batch minted NFTs appear on OpenSea, but without visible traits or attributes.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Manifold/OpenSea metadata refresh or batch minting? Would really appreciate any help, ideas, or if someone could point me to the right thread to check. :folded_hands:

I tried to upload my CSV file for batch 1–200 and it uploaded successfully. Yesterday the full 500 MB upload limit was completely used, and today in the morning the upload finally finished.

Right now I’m trying to upload CSV files for the other batches, but it looks like the traits are still not updating somehow. Only the first 101 NFTs, the ones I minted manually myself earlier, are showing traits correctly.

Minting those 200 NFT batches is not cheap, so I really need to understand if I should keep minting and uploading the CSV files or not.

What confuses me is that the number on the main page still shows only 101 minted, and the traits do not appear at all for the new batches. I have one edition page with 50 drafts, each containing 200 NFTs, and I’m publishing each draft one by one right now. They appear on OpenSea, but without traits.

To try fixing the issue and updating the numbers, I am re-uploading the CSV files again.

Hi Manifold team,

I don’t think reuploading all CSV files makes much sense in this situation, because the metadata and traits already appear correctly on OpenSea for the later batches, the issue seems to be specifically that the traits are not displaying visually like they do for the first 101 NFTs. The collection was already prepared in 50 draft batches with 200 NFTs each, and reuploading everything would be extremely difficult and risky for a 10,000 NFT collection.

Could you please check if this is,
a metadata refresh/indexing issue,
a problem connected to the claim page structure,
or something related to how OpenSea reads the later draft batches?

Because technically the metadata itself seems to exist and load correctly.

Would really appreciate help finding the actual root cause instead of recreating the entire CSV structure from scratch :folded_hands: :((((

Hey mx12art, thanks for sticking with us on this. Here’s where things actually stand, plus a question we’d love your answer on.

For the later tokens (102 onward), the metadata that lives on-chain didn’t include the traits. Your first 101 tokens have full traits.

Two things about your setup that explain the rest of what you’re seeing:

  • The address 0x6829...1a5b you shared is your DNForum Club contract, not your wallet. Just flagging in case it helps.
  • Your first 101 tokens were minted using the Edition Page app (your public mint page). Everything from 102 onward was minted using a different app, the 1 of 1 Token Batch app, when you publish batches from drafts. They keep separate counters, which is why your mint page still says 101 while OpenSea sees 500+.

When you get a chance, please send:

  • The CSV file you used for the most recent batch (just attach it here).
  • A screenshot of the 1 of 1 Token Batch screen right before you hit publish, with the trait columns visible.
  • The Studio edit link for your DNForum Club mint page.

Would love to learn more about what are you actually trying to build here, is it:

  • You want collectors to mint from one page and each get a unique 1 of 1 from your 10,000-piece set.
  • You want to pre-mint a bunch yourself, then airdrop, gift, or list them later.
  • Something else: presale, allowlists, staged reveals, or a mix.

The two apps you’re using were built for different jobs. Once we know your end goal, we can better advise you on the next steps and what app you should be using.

Sorry for the trouble.

Hey,
Thank you for your response. I’ve been a little busy with all the art projects lately, so sorry for the late reply as well.

At the very beginning, we were minting directly from the mint page, just like a customer would buying the NFT and minting it there. However, now we don’t want to buy each NFT as a customer anymore. Instead, we want to mint an entire batch and then put them up for sale. That’s why we’re trying to mint directly from the draft batches, ideally minting the whole batch at once.
The files should not be different from the very first ones. I will attach them here along with all the screenshots.

Initially, I thought we would mint them the same way we did with the first 101 NFTs. But then I changed my mind because buyers cannot see or choose the pieces that way. I wanted to mint them myself through Manifold Studio instead of the mint page and minnt each batch myself.

Could you please let me know what is possible, what we’re doing wrong, and how we can move forward from here?

Thank you very much!
