wp_update_post function not support meta update

[borisolhor]

Hi.
Seems like wp_update_post() function not support meta fields update.
I found post meta update only in wp_insert_post() function ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/6.0.2/src/wp-includes/post.php#L4498-L4502

Is there are some reasons to not include meta fields update in wp_update_post() function? Or this can be fixed in the future?

@borisolhor Thanx for the ticket and welcome to Trac!

If you look at ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/6.0.2/src/wp-includes/post.php#L4775 you'll see that wp_update_post() is basically just a small wrapper around wp_insert_post(). So, the $postarr['meta_input'] values passed to it will be updated by the code you referenced within wp_insert_post().
