Product Fields Auto-Generation does not populate meta tags on products added via API

[lytesaber]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento Open Source 2.4.5-p2
• PHP 8.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Log into Magento admin
2. Browse to Stores > Settings > Configuration > Catalog > Product Fields Auto-Generation
3. Configure Mask for Meta Title (Default Config): {{name}} | Test Store
4. Configure Mask for Meta Descripton (Default Config): {{name}} at Test Store. Free delivery on orders over $75.
5. Save configuration
6. Create/post a new product record via Magento's REST API (Name: Example Product)

Expected result

New product is created with both Meta Title and Meta Description fields based on the Product Fields Auto-Generation mask configuration.

Expected Meta Title Value:
Example Product | Test Store

Expected Meta Description Value:
Example Product at Test Store. Free delivery on orders over $75.

Actual result

Both Meta Title and Meta Description fields on the newly created product are blank.

Additional information

Product Fields Auto-Generation feature works for the product created manually in the Magento admin panel however not for products created programmatically via the API. Using the product fields auto-generation feature is still required even when syncing in new products from external POS or ERP systems which don't usually store website specific meta data.
