im wondering if a payment retrieved with GET /payments/{payment_id} will always return the cardholder_name
this is the example given here in the api reference for the endpoint: GET /v2/payments/{payment_id} - Square API Reference
the card_details object shows that the cardholder_name should be returned, as seen in the CardPaymentDetails object in the api reference
however, in sandbox testing i have done with test cards with names associated with them, the cardholder name is never returned
is there a special condition where the cardholder_name field is always returned, how can i ensure the endpoint always returns this field?

The cardholder_name field in the card_details object of a Payment is not always returned. This field is optional and is only included in the response if the cardholder’s name was provided at the time of the payment. If the cardholder’s name was not provided or not available during the payment process, this field will not be included in the response. Therefore, there’s no guaranteed way to ensure that the cardholder_name field is always returned in every response.
