Internal refresh channel doesn't bring metadata

Sendbird Chat UIKit
1

[Problem/Question]
We rely on metadata of the channel to display custom UI elements.
We initialize our GroupChannelListProvider.channelListQueryParams with includeMetaData: true and indeed metadata is returned.

When sendbird internally refreshes a channel (for example- after going back from a GroupChannel to a GroupChannelList) I see there is an internal Sendbird call initiated by

collectionInstance
                .initialize(MessageCollectionInitPolicy.CACHE_AND_REPLACE_BY_API)

that triggers

refreshChannel()

and this API call goes with the following parameters:

show_member: true
show_read_receipt: true
show_delivery_receipt: true

to

https://api-xxxxx.sendbird.com/v3/sdk/group_channels/sendbird_group_channel_yyyyy?show_member=true&show_read_receipt=true&show_delivery_receipt=true

This API call lacks any instructions to get metadata.
It looks like the refreshChannel() is deleting any cachedMetadata that was previously existed on the channel.
When I inspect the retuned object in the network tab there is no metadata on it.

Hard-refresh of the app brings back the metadata object, but then after some time it disappears again after refreshChannel() gets internally called.

[Reproduction Steps]
Our channels are Sendbird Desk Tickets.

<GroupChannelListProvider
        channelListQueryParams={{
          customTypesFilter: ['SENDBIRD_DESK_CHANNEL_CUSTOM_TYPE'],
          includeFrozen: true,
          myMemberStateFilter: MyMemberStateFilter.JOINED,
          unreadChannelFilter: UnreadChannelFilter.ALL,
          order: GroupChannelListOrder.LATEST_LAST_MESSAGE,
          limit: 100,
          includeMetaData: true,
        }}
        ...
/>
  1. Select the channel from the list (we have a custom list where we use channel.cachedMetadata)
  2. play around, send messages, go back to list (when Sendbird internally triggers refreshChannel, I don’t know when).
  3. Observe the network, see no metadata is returned. And channel.cacehdMetadata get emptied in some way.

[Frequency]
Whenever refreshChannel() is called internally.
