Hi @prathamesh-gharat
Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin and reporting this to us.
Yes, you are right the post meta for _yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords
will be empty until the customer adds the related information. I understand that it's not a good approach for a website with many posts.
Our product team will assess the severity of this problem in relation to other open bug reports and new features. Based on their assessment and investigation of whether there's any specific reason for the empty values added to the database, the bug report will be given a priority level. Our developers work on the highest priority issues first. Unfortunately, this means we cannot give you an estimate of when they'll start working on your report.
FR created for the empty values on database: https://github.com/Yoast/featurerequests/issues/958
