WP REST-API create posts with custom fields generated by CPT

I used the CPT to create a post type UserQuestion with a few fields, such as ip_data. I want to be able to create one of this posts through API. So I looked into WP REST API .
However, the API offers /v2/user_question:
{
"title" : "test2",
"slug": "user_question",
"status": "publish",
"post_type": "user_question",
"meta": {
"ip" : "1111",
"question": "test question",
"answer": "yes, the answer"
}
}
The post is created, but it's not updating the customized fields data.
How should I make the request?

nvm. I just figured that I used the ACF. So using ACF to Rest-API plugin works perfect!

add_action("rest_insert_user_question", function (WP_Post $post, $request, $creating)
{
$metas = $request->get_param("meta");
if (is_array($metas)) {
foreach ($metas as $name => $value) {
//update_post_meta($post->ID, $name, $value);
update_field($name, $value, $post->ID);
}
}
}, 10, 3);
In your functions.php (or in your plugin) add the above add_action and function. Change the 'user_question' in the add_action to match your post type, for example "rest_insert_portfolio" for a portfolio post type. Use update_field if you're using Advanced Custom Fields or update_post_meta if you're using regular custom fields.
