Client is receiving correct value INDEX for FID 54 (LOTSZUNITS) both on RFA API (via TREP) and in Eikon quote, however they are not getting this value with Eikon API.

The IMetadatRequest.GetCommonData provides well-defined meta data related to the timeseries data such as: Currency, Exchange, InstrumentType, etc. If you want to access all possible FIDS, including LOTSZUNITS, you will need to issue a different API call.
Try:
IRealtimeSingleDataRequest singleRequest = realtime.Request("BTCZ8", "LOTSZUNITS", data => Console.WriteLine(data)););
Refer to the tutorials section within the .NET APIs for use in custom applications for both realtime and timeseries examples.
Hi Nick, thanks for your answer.
Our understanding was that the Eikon Timeseries API should actually supply this value in the GetCommonData field called "Unit", which appears to be an abstracted field derived from LOTSZUNITS.
Hi @GoGoGroundhog,
Where did you read the "Unit" was the "LOTSZUNITS"? The intellisense within the API simply states: "Gets the unit".

My apologies for the delayed response as I was on a meeting. Client is using RFA API, sample RIC <BTCZ8>
@6063371 RFA is not an Eikon API. Besides, your question says that they see the values ok in the RFA and not in Eikon API.
Could you please review with the client the actual product they are using and update your question appropriately? Or perhaps have the client ask the question themselves. I was able to retrieve the data with RFA, EMA and the Eikon Data API.

It's about this method from Desktop.SDK.DataAccess.TimeSeries.Metadata.IMetadataService:
IMetadataRequest GetCommonData(string ric, Action<CommonMetadata> commonMetadataCallback, Action<TimeSeriesError> errorCallback);
