Nested Repeating Section Content Control

Hi,

I am currently building a Power Automate Flow which populates a Word Document through content controls.

The large majority of the document populates fine alongside using the repeating section content control; however where I am having trouble is when using a nested repeating section content control. For reference of what I am trying to achieve:

Heading Scenarios
Identifier	Name	Date	Notes
A1	Example Scenario 1	01/01/2021	Zzzzzz
A2	Example Scenario 2	01/02/2021	Zzzzzzzz
A3	Example Scenario 3	01/03/2021	Zzzzz
Heading Samples
Identifier	Name	Date	Notes
B1	Example Sample 1	01/02/2021	Zzz
B2	Example Sample 2	01/03/2021	Zzzzz

I have created my template as below with the relevant content controls in each section.

However I have also added repeating section content controls on line 3 (beginning with A1) so the individual records will be repeated; and also across the table as a whole (in the hope that the heading scenario will increment as the array feeding the data it changes as in the above example).

Heading Scenario 1
Identifier	Name	Date	Notes
A1	Enter Name	Enter Date	Enter Notes

However after creating my flow and pulling the relevant information with my variables and arrays; when I use the "Populate a Microsoft Word Template" tool, I am only presented with one repeating section variable to map - my "Header Repeating" which covers the table as a whole; and I cannot seem to map the nested content controls within this.

Am I missing something? or is this not currently supported?

Perhaps there may be another way to achieve this?
