How to upload file with metadata to SharePoint Online using Graph API

Question

I am able to upload files to sharepoint online using this way: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-put-content?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http.

However, in the documentation it does not mention that how to upload files with metadata (some fields are required in my library). Is there an easy way to do this?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @Kelly ,

As a workaround, you could use Update listItem method to set the field value after uploading the file. Below is my demo for you:

var fieldValueSet = new FieldValueSet  
{  
    AdditionalData = new Dictionary<string, object>()  
    {  
        {"Title", "test"},  
        {"column1", "value"}  
    }  
};  
await graphClient.Drives["{drive-id}"].Items["{driveitem-id}"].ListItem.Fields  
    .Request()  
    .UpdateAsync(fieldValueSet);
