Linux IPv6 Firewall: unknown option "--state" Error

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Rocky Linux 9
Webmin version 2.202

Existing rules:

:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p ipv6-icmp -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m conntrack --dport 22 --state NEW --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p udp -m udp -m state -d fe80::/64 --dport 546 --state NEW -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp6-adm-prohibited
-A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp6-adm-prohibited
COMMIT

Editing this rule:
[Accept] If protocol is TCP and destination port is 22 and state of connection is NEW

to change from Accept to Drop, results in this error message:

WARNING! Your current IPtables configuration is invalid : ip6tables-restore v1.8.10 (nf_tables): unknown option “–state” Error occurred at line: 11

Doesn’t seem to be any option called “State” in the Webmin interface.

How to fix?

Thanks.
