Native sleep tracking with two watches

Can you have more than one Apple Watch assigned to sleep tracking using the native app?

I‘ve been using a Series 4 with the watch OS 7 betas (and now the GM) and it’s been fine. I added a Series 6 yesterday (and turned on automatic sleep tracking) but it didn’t track any sleep last night.

In the Health app under Sleep only the Series 4 is listed as a Data Source. The Series 6 isn’t listed. I've tried to turn sleep tracking off for the Series 4 but the Series 6 still isn't listed as a data source.

Any suggestions for making this work?

My series 6 worked the 1st night but hasn’t worked since. Did you find a fix for it?
