This isn't a bug, more of a quick tutorial as I was asked to share this by someone at creality...
It's fairly simple, if you want to save multiple gcode files into a 3mf, you need to do 3 things:

1. click on the ^ next to 'slice plate' and choose 'slice all' from the list, it should then slice all of the plates for you
2. click on the ^ next to 'send print' and choose 'export all sliced file'
3. finally, a save file dialog will open, allowing you to save the 3mf file and that should be it, you should now be able to transfer the 3mf file to your printer either through one of the UIs or a USB stick and it should allow you to access the gcode files in the 3mf file

I haven't tested the last part of actually printing from the 3mf but I have seen it used on the newer (klipper based) creality machines, either way, this is how you save gcode files into a 3mf file, enjoy!!

I believe this is to allow you to upload gcode from multiplate projects in a single file. You can also use the same method to slice a single plate and save that to a 3mf too but that seems a bit redundant, as you can already export a single plate gcode file.
