HY368 integration does not create 'select.xyz_force' entitty in HA any longer

The very first Tyua-like HY368 thermostat I have integrated in HA came together with a “select” entity to allow selection of the “force” attribute (=valve operation. possible values being: normal, open, close).
This was few months ago.
Now I have installed new ones, and though “force” is well reported and can be driven still, no select entity has been created.

Any idea what has caused this? HA-MQTT discovery? zigbee2mqtt interview?
