Metadata Empty for ArcGIS Server Feature Service

Hi.  We have an ArcGIS Server map service with feature access enabled.  The service was published through ArcGIS Pro and metadata was added using the map metadata viewer prior to publishing.  The metadata appears in the service description through manager, the rest end point, and the Portal (we use that too) item details for both the map service and feature service.  

We use ArcGIS Pro (2.9.2) to view the map service and feature service.  However, when viewing the metadata (after adding the service to a map), the metadata is empty for the feature service.  It is complete for the map service.  

Is there something we are missing when adding metadata to the service?

Thanks.

Not really certain what you are referring to when you say the map metadata viewer.  

You should add metadata to the Metadata tab in the  Group properties before publishing.

What you put in for the first 3 values will be the default name for the service, Tags, and Summary when you publish.  The description will appear in the service

Hi.  Thank you for the information.  I have used the right-click->Edit Metadata option on the map to add the metadata.  But the metadata properties as you have indicated shows the metadata.  So that part is in place.

The metadata is published with the service and shows up everywhere except the feature service when used in ArcPro.

When added to ArcPro, the map service metadata looks like:

But the feature service metadata looks like:

This could be caused by any number of reasons, bug, our portal/server configuration, or we're just missing a step.  We have workarounds, so at this point I'm mostly just curious about what is going on.

Thanks.
