Xcode 13 crashing when adding a dictionary to the Info.plist from a target

Question

Xcode Version 13.3 beta 3 (13E5104i) or Version 13.2.1 (13C100)

When I add a dictionary to the Info.plist file from the Info tab in the project (for example with the Privacy - Location Temporary Usage Description Dictionary key), Xcode immediately crashes with the following message, that seems to be related to the type of new item added.

Any idea how to fix this?
