`EAP-PEAP` config not persisting for `iwd`

I need to use a WPA2 Enterprise network. According to ArchWiki, I need to create a config file manually. It’s working, but after a reboot, the file inside /var/lib/iwd/ gets deleted. (I’m using NetworkManager with iwd as a backend. Regular WPA2/WPA3 connections persist after reboot.) My files looks like this:

/var/lib/iwd/<hex-essid>.8021x
----------------------
[Security]
EAP-Method=PEAP
EAP-Identity=anonymous
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Method=MSCHAPV2
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Identity=<identity>
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Password-Hash=<hash>

[Settings]
AutoConnect=true

As I said already, it’s working. But the file gets deleted after a reboot. So it stops working. If I create the file again, it works.

I’m very confused about what’s exactly happening here.

EDIT: I might’ve found a workaround. After copying that file, it shows up in NetworkManager. If I enter the password and username there and save the edit, the file is replaced by an autogenerated file. That one seems to persist over reboots.

As mentioned in the edit, the workaround seems to have worked.
