The metadata field is not being sent or accepted by the createInvoice() method.

I want to create an invoice with some metadata so that I can identify the invoice type in my app. However, it seems that the CreateInvoiceRequest() method ignores the "metadata" field. When I bypass it (by directly passing the data into the createInvoice() method), it still behaves the same.

Here's my code:

 try {
            $resp = array();
            $invoiceRequest = new CreateInvoiceRequest($validated);
            $invoiceCreated1 = $apiInstance->createInvoice($invoiceRequest);
            $invoiceCreated2 = $apiInstance->createInvoice($validated);

            dd($invoiceCreated1,$invoiceCreated2); // both return the same
}

For the record, the documentation for this package also seems to ignore the metadata field. But why? According to the API documentation here, it clearly states that we can use metadata.

i havre noticed createInvoice endpoint has a response containing the metadata but the metadata is not passed to the payment success hook .

is somebody at xendit going to fix this issue?

This is an issue 2 years ago already and it still exist. No one will actually fix it.
