I don't get any metadata out of it when I retrieve the schedule later.
Where are you expecting to see the metadata?

Whats the sub_sched_xxx ID?

My guess is because that phase hasn't started, so the metadata hasn't been set on the associated Subscription item:

Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an item. Metadata on this item will update the underlying subscription item’s metadata when the phase is entered.

The weird thing is: the list of subscriptions is empty for this user

when I'm having a subscription schedule with 1 phase with 1 item starting in the future

even if I filter on status=all

[iron hornet]

You need to share the ID of the schedule

There wouldn't be a Subscription created until the start_date of the Schedule

Sorry, it's already solved 🙂 I did an update after the initial create without the metadata and thus losing the metadata upon retrieval

thanks for the rubber duck!
