Comment:

 @chriseverson Thank you for opening this ticket, and thank you
 @rheinardkorf for clarifying that this is a deficiency of `register_meta`.
 However, the issue that @chriseverson reported is separate from the
 `custom-fields` issue; it is true that registered meta cannot be
 restricted to a particular custom post type, which is a major weakness of
 the API's current meta capabilities.

 I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #38323, which is the ticket
 tracking the effort to provide a new argument to `register_meta`
 indicating that a particular meta value is intended only for use with a
 specific custom post type. I would welcome your participation in that
 thread!

 (And if I misunderstood your issue, please note as much below and we can
 continue the conversation.)
