Term meta not saved for custom taxonomies #9

When a custom taxonomy is created via POST request to rest api, the meta box fields are not saved on said request.

e.g. create a new custom taxonomy called Article tag. When registering the taxonomy make sure the rest api properties are set:

'show_in_rest'          => true,
'rest_base'             => 'video-tags',            
'rest_controller_class' => 'WP_REST_Terms_Controller',

Register a simple meta box text field with your custom taxonomy.

array(
    'id' => 'video_id',
    'name' => esc_html__( 'Video ID', 'digg-core' ),
    'type' => 'text',
)

A subsequent POST request to /wp-json/wp/v2/article-tags will result in a new tag being created with the parameter video_id value not set. The parameters passed in are:

"title": "A test video tag",
"meta_box": "{
    "video_id": "12345"
}"
