Adding message with custom metadata to conversation

Question

I am using the POST `/conversations/cnv_123/messages` endpoint to add a reply message to a conversation that already exists. When I fetch the messages, I see that they contain a `metadata` field that is just {}.  Is there a way to set custom metadata fields for later use in the endpoint? When I try just adding a `metadata` field to my payload, the operation passes but the metadata does not persist when re-fetched.

Hi there! Unfortunately, this isn’t currently possible. In this case I would highly suggest submitting your use case in the form of a feature request via our Ideas Portal found here:https://community.front.com/ideas

That said, would a conversation custom field be an option here?

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately no, I need the custom field on a per-message scope. I will file something on the feature request page.
