R2 custom metadata not being set

Hello everyone, I'm trying to add some metadata when uploading images to R2 via signed url. Here's the snippet:

const url = await getSignedUrl(
      r2,
      new PutObjectCommand({
        Bucket: 'images',
        Key: fileName,
        ContentType: fileType,
        Metadata: {
          user: userId,
          workspace: workspaceId,
        }
      }),
      { expiresIn: 60 }
    )

const url = await getSignedUrl(
      r2,
      new PutObjectCommand({
        Bucket: 'images',
        Key: fileName,
        ContentType: fileType,
        Metadata: {
          user: userId,
          workspace: workspaceId,
        }
      }),
      { expiresIn: 60 }
    )

When I go to the dashboard I see "no custom metadata set".

Update I tried adding the metadata headers manually to the PUT request to the signed URL and it works.

 const upload = await fetch(url, {
      method: 'PUT',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': file.type,
        'x-amz-meta-user': userId,
        'x-amz-meta-workspace': workspaceId,
      },
      body: file,
    })
    return upload.ok

 const upload = await fetch(url, {
      method: 'PUT',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': file.type,
        'x-amz-meta-user': userId,
        'x-amz-meta-workspace': workspaceId,
      },
      body: file,
    })
    return upload.ok

Is this intended behavior? What's the point of the Metadata parameter in the signed url?

Same issue, did you find a solution to this?

If I'm understanding what you are saying here, signing it just means that R2 will accept a request with that metadata, not that it will apply that metadata automatically

Thanks @Hard@Work | R2 - I think there's indeed a misunderstanding then. I guess the best way forward is to go for direct to worker upload, rather than via a signed url.
