TYPO3 11. Nested flux content elements are not displayed in the "Content Elements" tab of the News extension

Question

My original installation had TYPO3 9.5.31, EXT:news 7.3.1 and EXT:flux 9.4.0. I use a custom grid content element that we built with flux. It used to work okay with our news and looked like this:

After an update to TYPO3 11.5.25, EXT:news 11.0.0 and EXT:flux 9.7.2 all child content elements of the flux based grid elements are not displayed in Backend anymore. It is not possible to create new child content elements or to edit the existing ones. The frontend rendering on the other side works just fine.

Here what it looks like now:

Here is my code for the parent grid element:

<f:section name="Configuration">
    <flux:form id="grid2" label="Lorem ipsum" >
            <flux:form.option.group value="Lorem" />
            <flux:form.option.icon value="EXT:my_ext/Resources/Public/Icons/Extension.svg" />
            <flux:form.sheet name="colSettings">
                <flux:field.select name="settings.grid2.split"
                                   items="50-50,70-30,30-70"
                                   default="50-50"
                                   requestUpdate="1">
                </flux:field.select>
                <flux:field.checkbox name="colSettings.contentwrap" label="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" />
                <flux:grid>
                    <flux:grid.row>
                        <flux:grid.column colPos="28" style="width: 50%;" name="column1" label="Linke Spalte"/>
                        <flux:grid.column colPos="29" style="width: 50%;" name="column2" label="Rechte Spalte"/>
                    </flux:grid.row>
                </flux:grid>
            </flux:form.sheet>
            <flux:form.sheet name="additionalCSS">
                <flux:field.input name="settings.grid2.col1CSS" size="10" />
                <flux:field.input name="settings.grid2.col2CSS" size="10" />
            </flux:form.sheet>
    </flux:form>
</f:section>

The preview rendering of elements in the backend has been removed because it was a hacky solution. If you need a better handling, take a look at https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/main/en-us/Addons/NewsContentElements/Index.html - however I have heard that this doesn't really works with flux - but IMO this is more a problem of flux

As an alternative, use the following extension https://packagist.org/packages/georgringer/news-irre-content-preview which brings this desired feature back

Thank you for your answer. Is there a possibility to test this addon first? We cannot purchase it without knowing if it is going to solve our problem. – Runi Apr 17 '23 at 14:32
currently not - need to debug the flux issue first anyway :/ maybe contact me in private or slack for details – Georg Ringer Apr 17 '23 at 19:05
I updated the answer with a better solution for you – Georg Ringer Apr 18 '23 at 18:51
