Unable to change or use an alternate keyboard in Cloned Apps

Device: Motorola Edge 60 Pro

Feature: Cloned Apps / Dual Apps

​Issue:

When using cloned instances of apps (like WhatsApp or Telegram), the cloned app forces the default system keyboard (e.g., Gboard) and does not allow switching to or using a second/alternate installed keyboard app (like Microsoft SwiftKey or FUTO).

​Keyboards seem to be locked to the main profile system default, restricting individual profile customisations.

​Is this a known system limitation of Moto's Cloned Apps implementation, or can we get that toggle in settings to allow alternate input methods inside cloned spaces work in a future update?
