Comment (by chriseverson):

 Replying to [comment:2 rheinardkorf]:
 > In the docs (here: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-
 the-rest-api/modifying-responses/#working-with-meta-and-register_meta) you
 will see in the comments that for custom post types the $object_type has
 to be "post".
 Looking back through the documentation for `register_meta()`, I see that I
 incorrectly passed the post type instead of the object type, this is where
 I ran into issues. That said, it doesn't seem to be exactly the
 functionality that I'm looking for as I'd like the meta fields to be post
 type specific.
