Comment:

 Hey Muhammad,

 Fields that start with an underscore are seen as private. That is the
 reason why you can't change them. This is intended behaviour. See #17850
 for more information. If you want to change those values then you should
 use {{{register_meta}}} and handle it yourself. I suddenly do wonder if it
 works since I we maybe would need to use {{{is_protected_meta()}}}.
 Wondering if we have unit tests for this.

 Also add_post_meta seems to be fine there since nothing needs to be
 updated.
