ExistingObjectReplication param in s3-client putBucketReplication not working?

[altinukshini]

I am using aws-sdk v3 in a lambda running nodejs18.x.
When trying to use putBucketReplication, everything works good, except that I am not able to use (as per docs) the ExistingObjectReplication.

Am I using it wrong or is it a bug in the library?

Code:

const { S3Client, PutBucketReplicationCommand, DeleteBucketReplicationCommand, HeadBucketCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-s3');
...
...
   ...
   await destinationS3.send(new PutBucketReplicationCommand({
        Bucket: destinationBucketName,
        ReplicationConfiguration: {
            Role: properties.DESTINATION_REPLICATION_ROLE,
            Rules: [
                {
                    ID: 'Rule1',
                    Prefix: '',
                    Status: 'Enabled',
                    Destination: {
                        Bucket: `arn:aws:s3:::${sourceBucketName}`,
                        StorageClass: 'STANDARD'
                    },
                    ExistingObjectReplication: {
                        Status: "Enabled",
                    },
                },
            ],
        },
    }));

Using ExistingObjectReplication throws: ERROR Error: MalformedXML: The XML you provided was not well-formed or did not validate against our published schema

The documentation points to a parameter "ExistingObjectReplication" that is legacy.
I had to use the S3 Control to create a job for this. See here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3Control.html#createJob-property

Example:

async function createReplicationJob(accountId, s3Control, destinationBucketName, destinationRoleARN) {
    const params = {
        AccountId: accountId,
        Operation: {
            S3ReplicateObject: {},
        },
        Priority: 1,
        Report: {
            Enabled: false,
        },
        RoleArn: destinationRoleARN,
        ConfirmationRequired: false,
        ManifestGenerator: {
            S3JobManifestGenerator: {
                EnableManifestOutput: false,
                SourceBucket: `arn:aws:s3:::${destinationBucketName}`,
                Filter: {
                    EligibleForReplication: true,
                    ObjectReplicationStatuses: [ 'NONE' ],
                },
            },
        },
    };

    await s3Control.createJob(params).promise();
}
