Not able to add Web Content form field in DDL definition in LR-7.4.2 GA3

I've currently upgraded project from LR-7.3 CE to LR-7.4.2 CE ga3. I need the Web Content field in DDL data definition. But not able to drag it in the definition section. I tried with making custom module which basically overrides dynamic-data-mapping-web module to add the ddm-journal-article field. I therefore merged the previous version module code(LR-7.3) to the current version module. Now I am able to drag the Web Content field in the data definition. Fine.. but when I try to add record in the recordset based on this data definition, I could not be able to select web content fron the pop up listing web contents for this web content form field. Also there is neither js console error nor any server side error. Can anyone suggest me what should I do and how to proceed? Thanks in advance.

Hi Abhishek, thanks for the report. After reproducing the issue in my 7.4.2-ga3 Docker environment, I went to see if this has been reported already. I found this regression bug report. So the best I can say is that it's a known issue. Let's hope the team gets it fixed soon.

By the way, as you can read here, DDL is deprecated in 7.4, to be replaced by a new framework for building low code applicationsĀ called Liferay Objects.
