Lists - Inline Edit field can no longer be used to edit an undisplayed column

Question
Until now I had formated a column to display a progess bar which contained two spans allowing me to display and edit the values of the fields used to calculate the bar features. Those fields were not displayed on the view, so I used a small workaround to be able to work with their values : I created a calculated field using both values in its expression which made them available to use in the column formating json. This setup allowed me to have something very handy and compact with everything in a single column.
It worked like a charm until a few days ago but not anymore. I can still access the fields values with my workaround, but the inline editing no longer works. Seems like the editing of an undisplayed is not allowed anymore. Is it an intended restriction or a bug ?

Thank you for reporting this issue. We will be triaging your incoming issue as soon as possible.
@jbbru thank you for posting this. I have also run into this same issue. Additionally, Issue 8274 is another problem - this is with inline editing on board view.
@Odiseo78, can you provide more insight into your question? On both lists and libraries. I use the same command with great success: "inlineEditField": "[$InternalFieldName]"

hi, thanks for your response. I tried in a library field it has not worked, but in a list field it did work,
Using the same JSON I use for lists, I find that it does not work on folders, but it works on documents. The capability only works as long as the field I'm trying to edit is shown on the list (meaning the issue that started this thread still exists). If you have the exact field you want changed on your view, then please be sure you have the correct internal field name.
