Unable to configure RS-485 Hardware Flow Control (Driver Enable / DE) for USART4 on STM32G081RB in STM32Cube

Datasheet indicates DE is supported on all 4 USART interfaces, but attempting to enable it for USART4 in STM32Cube results in an error:

2. Open the IOC file
3. Navigate to Connectivity -> USART4
4. Set Mode to Asynchronous
5. Select Hardware Flow Control (RS485)

Software in use:

Thanks @MJ​, for bringing this up.

 I can confirm this erroneous warning, however it does not seem to have any effect on the generated code.
