Show meta if only using custom post meta items

Would it be possible to add $has_meta = true; to the default switch case in parts/template-tags.php on line 640? Because if I’m only using custom post meta’s, they don’t show up:

add_filter( 'chaplin_post_meta_items', function ( $items ) {
	if ( get_post_type() === 'fieldtrip' ) {
		$items = [ 'course', 'coauthors', 'submissions' ];
	}

	return $items;
}, 10, 1 );
