--- Comment #2 from madness742 at proton.me ---
I can reproduce this.

As a workaround, I've created a Dolphin service menu. My use case is very
simple: copy or move files to a specific folder that has the `svirt_image_t`
label. This folder is used to share files with my Virtual Machines.

1. `mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus`
2. `touch ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/copy-mv-vm.desktop`
3. `sudo chmod +x ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/copy-mv-vm.desktop`
4. `nano ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/copy-mv-vm.desktop` (make sure to
replace user with your username)
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
MimeType=all/all;
Actions=CopyToVM;MoveToVM
X-KDE-Submenu=Copy/Move to VM

[Desktop Action CopyToVM]
Name=Copy to VM
Icon=edit-copy
Exec=cp -r %F /home/user/VM; notify-send --app-name Dolphin "Copied files to
shared folder."

[Desktop Action MoveToVM]
Name=Move to VM
Icon=edit-move
Exec=cp -r %F /home/user/VM && rm -r %F; notify-send --app-name Dolphin "Moved
files to shared folder."

Restart Dolphin and there should be a new context menu entry when selecting
files/folders.
