Theme element "tbl_summary-arg:type" in gtsummary does not work

Theme element "tbl_summary-arg:type" in gtsummary does not work, though type argument works well with the same code

library(gtsummary)
packageVersion("gtsummary")
#> [1] '2.1.0.9010'

# Reset theme to defaults first
reset_gtsummary_theme()
tbl_summary(trial) |> 
  # Converting to a flextable object because gtsummary 
  # objects aren't rendered properly on Stack Overflow
  as_flex_table()

# Apply my theme
set_gtsummary_theme(list("tbl_summary-arg:type" =
                           list(all_dichotomous() ~ "categorical")))
# check if it works
trial |>
  tbl_summary() |> 
  as_flex_table()

#Not working Patient Died   is still presented as dichotomous

#Checking type argument
reset_gtsummary_theme()
trial |>
  tbl_summary(type = all_dichotomous() ~ "categorical") |> 
  as_flex_table()

#works well

Am I missing something making it not work?

This was just addressed in the dev version of the package. If you update your dev version, it should get you what you want.

library(gtsummary)
packageVersion("gtsummary")
#> [1] '2.1.0.9013'

list("tbl_summary-arg:type" = all_dichotomous() ~ "categorical") |> 
  set_gtsummary_theme()

tbl_summary(trial, include = c(response, death), missing = "no") |> 
  bold_labels() |> 
  as_kable()
