Actual Issues is while adding the record in wordpress(houzez theme) via postman api, It will create a record successfully, But in the record values there is an empty values occur in property_meta field.

we are expecting the property_meta field values also need to add in it.

This is the postman collection which I've tried via API.

    function houzez_property_rest_api_field() {
        register_rest_field( 'property', 'property_meta', array(

        ) );
    }

    function houzez_get_rest_api_property_meta( $object ) {
        $post_id = $object['id'];
        $property_meta = get_post_meta( $post_id );

        // add filter
        $property_meta = apply_filters( 'houzez_property_rest_api_meta', $property_meta );

        // return meta
        return $property_meta;
    }
}

In your POST request, you're using meta field names like fave_fave_property_price, fave_property_price_prefix, etc. However, in your GET response, the names are slightly different e.g., fave_property_price, fave_property_price_postfix

    if( !function_exists('houzez_property_rest_api_field')) {
        add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'houzez_property_rest_api_field' );
    
        function houzez_property_rest_api_field() {
            register_rest_field( 'property', 'property_meta', array(
                'get_callback'    => 'houzez_get_rest_api_property_meta',
                'update_callback' => 'houzez_update_rest_api_property_meta',
                'schema'          => null,
            ));
        }
    
        function houzez_get_rest_api_property_meta( $object ) {
            $post_id = $object['id'];
            $property_meta = get_post_meta( $post_id );
        $property_meta = apply_filters( 'houzez_property_rest_api_meta', $property_meta );

        return $property_meta;
    }

    function houzez_update_rest_api_property_meta($value, $object, $field_name) {
        if (!is_array($value) || !$object instanceof WP_Post) {
            return;
        }

        foreach ($value as $meta_key => $meta_value) {
            update_post_meta($object->ID, $meta_key, $meta_value);
        }
    }
}
