Is it possible to pull custom fields from SolidWorks files on Forge?

I have translated SolidWorks files on AutoDesk Forge, however, the Forge metatadata / objects / properties call of these files only provides the objectid and name. I know I've got several fields in the files, just wondering if I have to wire up some strange way to pull them out before sending them, figuring it may not be supported through the Forge API. Thanks!

The Model Derivative service is usually doing a pretty good job with extracting the metadata of your designs. Note however that the metadata might be available on a different level in the logical hierarchy.

Here's the metadata I see in one of my sample SolidWorks files when I simply click on one of the parts:

And this is the metadata I see when I select its parent element:
