The document reports an issue with the `register_meta()` method in `bbpress.php`. The problem lies in the metadata not being tied to a specific object_subtype, meaning it's registered for all posts, not just bbPress types like Forum or Topic. This leads to unintended metadata being included when retrieving posts via REST, causing inconvenience as one must manually remove unrelated data before saving. The solution suggested is to tie registered post meta to specific post types. A fix has been deployed in a pull request, awaiting review and implementation. The report's status was updated to indicate it as a duplicate issue, and the priority was adjusted from high to normal. The component was also changed from General - Administration to Component - Any/All.
