Hierarchical select for native Advanced Custom Fields taxonomy fields.

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

	//Modify select2 ajax request to include a parent_id parameter, used by custom_acf_taxonomy_hierarchy()

//Make the javascript available in the admin when editing a post with ACF
function custom_admin_enqueue_scripts(){        
    wp_enqueue_script('custom-acf-admin-js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/custom-acf-admin.js',['jquery']);
}
add_action('acf/input/admin_enqueue_scripts','custom_admin_enqueue_scripts');

Is it possible not working anymore under ACF Version 6.0.5 and/or PHP 8.1? Has somebody an idea why?
Thanks a lot!
