Set SharePoint access requests to owner group

How can I set the Access Request Settings to the Owner group on an O365 SharePoint site ? I could not find any method in PnP PowerShell or CSOM... Set-PnPRequestAccessEmails only allows to set email...

Currently, this information is not exposed with the REST/CSOM APIs, so it cannot be controlled by using remote options (SPO or PnP PowerShell or code). We are looking into exposing this API with the CSOM in future, but there's no ETA for that work.

We also need to change the "Access Request" method to set to Owner Group as it is possible through interface.

We are writing a CSOM method to create site from template and the "access request" option need to be set in the code using CSOM.

Please, tell me if any update of CSOM library is forecast or give any solution to update this option by code using any other library...

Regards.
