Comment:

 Hi @malayladu and welcome to trac!

 This is due to the issue detailed in #45114, post meta and terms (tags,
 categories, custom taxonomies) are not updated until after
 `wp_update_post()` runs so the details are not available when saving via
 the REST API, which the new editor uses.

 Some ideas have been presented but a way forward hasn't been decided yet,
 I am afraid.

 I'm marking this ticket as duplicate so discussion can continue in one
 place on #45114.
