--------------------------+-----------------------------
 When creating a new attachment with the Rest API, that also includes data,
 normal data like the title will be handled, but additional data, like meta
 data for example are not handled.

 When adding this code near the end of the method `create_item() ` on the
 file `class-wp-rest-attachments-controller.php` the issue is solved.

 {{{#!php
 $request->set_url_params( [ 'id' => $id ] );

 $response = parent::update_item( $request );

 if ( is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
         return $response;
 }
 }}}

 I added it prior `$fields_update...`

 Note: Since this requires an upload with data and registered meta, I've
 added an example file. And you need to register the meta on the website
 too.

 {{{
 register_meta( 'post', 'my_meta', [
                         'type' => 'string',
                         'description' => '',
                         'single' => true,
                         'show_in_rest' => true,
                 ] );
 }}}
