The `response_id` field is missing from the result for the item object via conversation. That is, to manage response objects that are created with `conversation_id` specified, you need to store `response_id` somewhere separately, since you cannot access `response_id` through conversations. I mean through these endpoints:

GET `https://api.openai.com/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}/items`

or

GET `https://api.openai.com/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}/items/{item_id}`.

However, this is now implemented on the UI in Dashboard-Logs-Conversations (on the screen). It would be desirable to have this added to the API as well

Seconding this, it’s needed to have full feature parity with the old threads system.  
This, and arbitrary metadata per messsage.  
Thanks!
