Unknown F5 JSON form field type 'select', treating as 'text'.

Hi folks,
Using Openconnect 9.21 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
I need to interact with an F5 BIG-IP SSL vpn with a web login page. The login page recently added an auth select drop-down for MFA selection: this is causing the following warning in my Openconnect-via-NetworkManager-plasma logs:
WARNING: Unknown F5 JSON form field type 'select', treating as 'text'. Please report to <openconnect-devel at lists.infradead.org>
WARNING: No HTML authentication form found. Extracted form from F5's embedded
JSON. This is EXPERIMENTAL. Please report results to <openconnect-devel at lists.infradead.org>.
NetworkManager and the OpenConnect command-line both show a "auth_select" form to fill (which I'm assuming is the 'select` field) but no indiciation of what should be there; the webpage has it prefilled in the source like so:
{
"type": "select",
"name": "auth_select",
"caption": "Auth select",
"value": "",
"disabled": false,
"options": [
{
"value": "FAKE_MFA_SELECT",
"text": "Fake MFA Selection Value"
}
]
}
It would be nice if the options could be pre-filled or presented to the user somehow; manually entering the option works but it's a pain to hit the web UI and look for the expected value in the source.
Let me know if you need any more info or testing
Thanks,
Steve
