[Bug]: Yaml Dataflow - yaml provider - composite transform cant as middle transform

[ZwxwZ]

What happened?

In yaml provider,
this yaml working fine with "type: chain"

- type: yaml
  transforms:
    # Define the first transform of type "RaiseElementToPower"
    RaiseElementToPower:
      config_schema:
        properties:
          n: {type: integer}
      body:
        type: chain
        transforms:
          - type: MapToFields
            config:
              language: python
              append: true
              fields:
                power: "element ** {{n}}"

If i change the type to "type: composite",

- type: yaml
  transforms:
    # Define the first transform of type "RaiseElementToPower"
    RaiseElementToPower:
      config_schema:
        properties:
          n: {type: integer}
      body:
        type: composite
        transforms:
          - type: MapToFields
            input: xxxx
            config:
              language: python
              append: true
              fields:
                power: "element ** {{n}}"

there will have error, beacause it's required an input for the transform,
"type: composite" require include the input into the sub-yaml,

success example for "composite":
https://github.com/apache/beam-starter-python-provider/blob/main/examples/multi_input_output.yaml

do composite transform must including the input into one page?
