list_folder does not contain property_group
Hi, I just want to ask why Property_Group is null even though I'm expecting some values. I'm using .Net sdk - list_folder method. Please see the the image below: Thanks!
Thanks! Sorry I forgot to show you that code in my last post but we were able to add the property to the file, the problem is retrieving.
The steps we did were:
upload file via /upload
update file property via /property/add
/list_folder to get the folder content with metadata.
This doesn't contain the "property_groups". However, if you use the /alpha_getmeta it will show you the file metadata together with the "property_groups".

Dropbox Community ModeratorApologies, I was misinformed in my last reply.
The property groups aren't supposed to be returned in list_folder (they documentation only shows it because the FileMetadata type sample itself is re-used).
The intent is that they would only be returned by get_metadata when specifying `include_property_templates`. The feature is new though, and we haven't finished rolling it out to the non-alpha endpoint. That will be coming in the future, though I don't have a specific timeline right now.
Sorry again for the earlier inaccurate information!

Hi,
I see, no worries. Thank you very much for responding and clarification :)

- Greg-DBGood news, we've finished rolling this functionality out to the non-alpha endpoints, and also actually added it to list_folder as well. The updated ListFolder and GetMetadata arguments are now available in the latest version of the .NET SDK:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/T_Dropbox_Api_Files_GetMetadataArg.htm
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/T_Dropbox_Api_Files_ListFolderArg.htm- Great! Thanks for the update Greg.
