The only workaround I found would be to use webhooks and listen to the invoice.created event pulling the metadata from the parent subscription and adding it to the invoice

👋 happy to help
Hey 😉 Is it possible to have metadata from a subscription automatically synced/added to all subsequent invoices?
that's already the case
neat dune
Oh, that's great! Thank you 🙂

And this works for invoices that are automatically generated by an subscription as well?
daring knoll
each invoice has a snapshot of the metadata on the subscription, see https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-subscription_details-metadata
neat dune
Ah, I see. Is this searchable as well?
It seems that only the direct metadata is searchable: https://docs.stripe.com/search#supported-query-fields-for-each-resource
daring knoll
not really since that specfic field is not supported in the grammar : https://docs.stripe.com/search#query-fields-for-invoices

Okay.. But then I think that I need to work with webhooks.. I need some of the metafields from a subscription directly as searchable metadata on the invoice.

you can call the Invoice.update API whenever an invoice is created and copy the subscription metadata manually
