    Example of 2 meta fields that you want to set as protected:

    function my_meta_is_protected_meta( $protected, $meta_key, $meta_type ) {
    
            switch ($meta_key) {
                    case 'my_first_meta':
                            $protected = true;
                            break;
                    case 'my_second_meta':
                            $protected = true;
                            break;
            }
    
            return $protected;
    }
    add_filter( 'is_protected_meta', 'my_meta_is_protected_meta', 10, 3 );
