The bug
Fence and walls can no longer be manually controlled and are always forced to default values:
/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:oak_fence[east=false,north=false,south=false,waterlogged=false,west=true] no longer forces a block with a custom nbt and is always set as false when summoned around air blocks.
The introduction of this occurred in 1.16 Pre-Release 6, the functionality worked up to and including 1.16 Pre-Release 5.

If you create a new 1.15.2 world and summon a fence with a directional e.g. /setblock ~ ~ ~ oak_fence[west=true], then update the world to 1.16.1 the fence does not lose its nbt.
However, new fence blocks set in 1.16.1 do not accept custom nbt.
This would be better marked as a duplicate and rerouting to MC-191698
Can confirm in 1.19.2.Relates to MC-255254
