[3.1.18]Impossible de forcer la sous-ressource à générer un uri de type itemUriTemplate : '/users/{userId}/blogs/{blogId}

[devDzign]

I have created a "UserApi mapper" to map the Doctrine User entity and a "BlogApi mapper" to map the Doctrine Blog entity. I try to create a sub-resource of the type /api/users/{id}/blogs, with itemUriTemplate: '/users/{userId}/blogs/{blogId}'. However, I get an error :

Example of how to reproduce a bug :

<?php

namespace App\ApiResource;

    shortName: 'users',
    operations: [
        new Get(
            uriTemplate: '/users/{id}'
        ),
    ],
    provider: UserProvider::class,
    stateOptions: new Options(entityClass: User::class),
)]
class UserApi
{

    #[ApiProperty(identifier: true)]
    public ?int $id =null;
    #[Assert\NotBlank()]
    public ?string $username=null;
    /** @var BlogApi[]  */
    public array $blogs = [];
}

#[ApiResource(
    shortName: 'blogs',
    operations: [
        new Get(
            uriTemplate: '/users/{userId}/blogs/{blogId}',
            uriVariables: [
                'userId' => new Link(
                    toProperty: 'owner',
                    fromClass: User::class
                ),
