Unable to save field data when field is displayed in popup field group

Problem/Motivation

I am facing an issue with popup field group, Field value is not getting store in node when field is being displayed in popup modal.
On closing modal complete HTML wrapper removes from the DOM.

Steps to reproduce

Drupal version 9.3.9
Use Gin Admin Theme →
Install this Popup field group module.
Navigate to any Content type -> Manage form display.
Click "+ Add group" button
In a "Add a new group" dropdown choose "Popup" value, add some label and
click "Save and continue" button
Setup your popup and click "Create group" button
Move added field group to needed position (among fields)
Move fields to added field group
Click "Save" button

Now Navigate to Add node page for the same content type for which you have configured Popup Field group
and try creating node by entering some value inside popup field group.
You will notice this node will not save if field is required because your field value is empty.

Proposed resolution

On closing Modal HTML markup element should not remove from DOM, complete modal should be in Display node mode and should be inside form.

Interesting bug from 2022... because this renders popup_field_group for forms like "edit node" completely useless. Apart from that, dear reporters: issues like bugs or code changes should mainly be placed in the latest dev branch for maintainers better to keep track on implemented changes merged into next releases.

For those who need a quick solution, all I was able to find for you is the following: The alternative module inline_popup_field_group → seem to address this in their attempt to keep field states and values on save.
