Property Groups always null Java SDK

I have created a template and a list of property group objects but when I get the meta data for the file in a search after I've uploaded it says null for property group. The property groups should have been included when the file is uploaded. I use the Java SDK and I have tried a few different ways:

FileMetadata metadata = client.withPathRoot(pathRoot)
        .files()
        .uploadBuilder(finalFilePath)
        .withPropertyGroups(propertyGroups)
        .uploadAndFinish(in);

And also

FileMetadata metadata = client.withPathRoot(pathRoot)
.files()
.uploadBuilder(finalFilePath)
.uploadAndFinish(in);
client.fileProperties().propertiesAdd(metadata.getId(), propertyGroups);

I try getting the metadata a couple of different ways but it is always null:

client.withPathRoot(pathRoot).files().getMetadata(filePath)

Nothing seems to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for the confusion. When uploading files, you won't see the property information returned in the metadata directly. (I'll pass this along as a feature request though.)

To retrieve it, you'll need to call getMetadataBuilder to get a GetMetadataBuilder, and then use GetMetadataBuilder.withIncludePropertyGroups to specifically request the property information.
