Has anyone tried retrieving and displaying stock option historical prices from Interactive Brokers in NinjaTrader?

Analysis of TWS API logs shows that NT adds the type of instrument “stock” to the request and IB does not find it.

 
Code
TWS API 
20-4002-0-AAPL-OPT-20231027-180-C-100-SMART--USD---0-20231022-17:41:49-1 hour-3 M-1-TRADES-1-0--

NINJA
13:47:19:683 <- 20-6-105-0-AAPL-OPT-20231027-180-C-100-STK--0-0--SMART-SMART-USD---0-20231022 17:47:21 UTC-1 min-6 D-0-TRADES-1--

However, the request to obtain the options chain is processed normally -

 
Code
14:19:35:198 <- 9-8-1001-0-AAPL-OPT--0-Any--SMART-SMART-USD---0---

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

I'd be very grateful if you could share your experience.

I can chart a stock option and it's historical pricing and data.
I find the stock option in the options chain, and load the ticker from there. Works as expected.

You can manually type the option in, or just select it from the Options Chain.
