Model mapper mapping Map<String,Object> to class which extends another generic class not working for list field - modelmapper

Question

I am trying to create my custom configuration object from Map using model mapper. Everything gets mapped properly excepts the fields property which is coming fro Generic super class.
My target object is
public class ADParserConfig extends CustomParserConfig<ADParserConfigField> {
private String pattern;
public String getPattern() {
return pattern;
}
public void setPattern(String pattern) {
this.pattern = pattern;
}
}
This extends generic class CustomParserConfig
public class CustomParserConfig<T extends CustomParserConfigField> {
protected List<T> fields;
protected String timeStampField;
public List<T> getFields() {
return fields;
}
public void setFields(List<T> fields) {
this.fields = fields;
}
public String getTimeStampField() {
return timeStampField;
}
public void setTimeStampField(String timeStampField) {
this.timeStampField = timeStampField;
}
}
Where CustomParserConfigField is
public class CustomParserConfigField {
protected String name;
protected Integer index;
protected String type;
protected String format;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public Integer getIndex() {
return index;
}
public void setIndex(Integer index) {
this.index = index;
}
public String getType() {
return type;
}
public void setType(String type) {
this.type = type;
}
public String getFormat() {
return format;
}
public void setFormat(String format) {
this.format = format;
}
}
I am trying to map Map using below function
ADParserConfig adParserConfig = getConfig(map,ADParserConfig.class);
public <T extends CustomParserConfig> T getConfig(Map<String,Object> configObject, Class<T> classType){
ModelMapper modelMapper = new ModelMapper();
return modelMapper.map(configObject,classType);
}
Everything excepts fields gets mapped properly for the below map.
{fields=[{name=timeStamp, type=timestamp, format=dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS a}, {name=logName, type=string}], pattern=(?<timeStamp>\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\s[AMPMampm]{2})?\s(LogName=(?<logName>[\w\s\W]+))?\sSourceName=(?<sourceName>[\w\s\W]+)\sEventCode=(?<eventCode>[0-9]*), timeStampField=timestamp}
Please help. Why is issue happens only for fields object ? Do I need to specify something else in mapper configurations ?

It looks like a bug and it had been fixed by #370
