When sending ProductUpdate GraphQL request and changing only one property of the “meta” object (ie title/description), the field is beign updated (as expected) but the other one resets to null

State before the update:

POST /admin/api/2023-04/graphql.json

query Query($productId: ID!) {
  product(id: $productId) {
    seo {
      title
      description
    }
  }
}

{"productId": "gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/6870188425403"}

// Returns
//   "data": {
//     "product": {
//       "seo": {
//         "title": "AAA",
//         "description": "BBB"
//       }
//     }
//   }

The update:

POST /admin/api/2023-04/graphql.json

mutation ProductUpdate($input: ProductInput!) {
  productUpdate(input: $input) {
    product {
      id
       seo {
        title
        description
      }
    }
  }
}

{"input":{"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/6870188425403","seo":{"title": "New Title"}}}

// Returns 
// "data": {
//    "productUpdate": {
//      "product": {
//        "id": "gid://shopify/Product/6870188425403",
//        "seo": {
//          "title": "New Title",
**//          "description": null**
//        }
//      }
//    }
//  },

When updating the SEO metafields using the ProductUpdate mutation you need to provide both the title and description fields within the seo input object, even if you only want to change one of them, otherwise, the unspecified field will be set to null.
