Custom text tones gone or missing in iOS 17

My custom Tones for Text Tone gone missing after iOS17 install? I have many custom text tones for incoming text message and now they are inaccessible. I missed imoportant incoming text messages because their custom text tone is not accessible! The TONES are still on my iPhone, if I choose to change a Ringtone. But they are not accessible if needing to (and I do need to) change TEXT tone!

My custom TONES are still on my iPhone. If I choose to change a Ringtone, they're avaialable. But if I choose to change a TEXT Tone, Apple is denying access. It may be a programmer oversight or, it may be as many are writing, another Apple cash grab to get their customers to Buy Text Tones.
