Using a section in a flexform do not process the flexform

[asakurayoh]

Describe the bug
I tried using the example defined here: https://docs.typo3.org/p/friendsoftypo3/content-blocks/main/en-us/YamlReference/FieldTypes/FlexForm/Section/Index.html
When doing <f:debug>{_all}</f:debug> in the content frontend HTML, data._processed.pi_flexform is empty.

To Reproduce

1. Using the example defined here: https://docs.typo3.org/p/friendsoftypo3/content-blocks/main/en-us/YamlReference/FieldTypes/FlexForm/Section/Index.html
2. Add data via TYPO3 backend.
3. <f:debug>{_all}</f:debug> in the content frontend HTML

Expected behavior
The flexform should be processed and the data available.

TYPO3 Version

• TYPO3 13.4.1, install via composer

Content Blocks Version:

• Content Block 1.0.4, install via composer

This is already fixed in Core and will be released next week with 13.4.2.

See related issues:

• Link fields within FlexForm are not resolved #296
• Unable to Render Images from FlexForm Field within Collection in TYPO3 Frontend #292

Thanks! As those issues didn't mention sections, I didn't know it was related!
Good job! Love Content Blocks!

Sorry, it seems sections still don't work after the update. I will investigate it.

Hey.
I've check the issue open here: https://forge.typo3.org/issues/105800
The "Translated to FlexForm XML definition" seem weird, compared to the exemple in the doc: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/FlexForms/Index.html#steps-to-perform-extension-developer
Why is the fields nodes named "field" with an index of the name of the field, instead of being the name of the node?
Wondering if that could be the problem...

@asakurayoh Hey, don't worry. We are already on it to fix it in Core. Regarding the "translated XML": This is an alternative syntax, which is automatically generated by TYPO3s array2Xml utility.

Haha! Ok, thanks!
I just never see that syntax and I didn't find it in the documentation. Just wanted to help... Badly :D

The problem is really that sections aren't implemented at all.
