[MC-162633] Zombified piglins don't do damage to withers

I was trying the [Zombie Pigman] zombified piglin VS Wither fight in creative mode, but the pigmen didn't do any damage to the wither.

At first I summoned a bunch of Zombie Pigman with a spawn egg and I did /summon Wither command to summon the Wither. I expected to see the epic fight, but the Pigman didn't do any damage to the Wither either in Creative or Survival mode.

Undead mobs do not damage withers, so WAI.

poweredbow if you see Henrik Kniberg is currently working on this bug so it has plans to be fixed. Also if it is WAI then you need a source.

Can confirm in 1.21.3 and 24w46a, but...
All undead mobs are able to aggro on the Wither and attempt to hit him, although they do not inflict any damage. I think it’s necessary to create a general bug report about this issue and mark this report as a duplicate.
