        self.options_schema = vol.Schema({
            vol.Required("username"): str,
            vol.Required("password"): str,
            # Items can be grouped by collapsible sections
            "ssl_options": section(
                vol.Schema(
                    {
                        vol.Required("ssl", default=True): bool,
                        vol.Required("verify_ssl", default=True): bool,
			vol.Required("test_str", default="Test Value"): str,
			vol.Optional("test_str_optional", description={"suggested_value": "Test Optinal"}): str,
                    }
                ),
                # Whether or not the section is initially collapsed (default = False)

I just tried this in the kitchen sink options flow and it seemed to work fine ?

        return self.async_show_form(
            step_id="options_1",
            data_schema=vol.Schema(
                {
                    vol.Required("section_1"): data_entry_flow.section(
                        vol.Schema(
                            {
                                vol.Optional(
                                    CONF_BOOLEAN,
                                    default=self.config_entry.options.get(
                                        CONF_BOOLEAN, False
                                    ),
                                ): bool,
                                vol.Required("ssl", default=True): bool,
                                vol.Required("verify_ssl", default=True): bool,
                                vol.Required("test_str", default="Test Value"): str,
                                vol.Optional("test_str_optional", description={"suggested_value": "Test Optinal"}): str,
                                vol.Optional(
                                    CONF_INT,
                                    default=self.config_entry.options.get(CONF_INT, 10),
                                ): int,
                            }
                        ),
                        {"collapsed": False},
                    ),
                }
            ),
        )

This is working but only if you use
from homeassistant import data_entry_flow
instead of
from homeassistant.data_entry_flow import section

and it only works with vol.Required("advanced_options"): data_entry_flow.section( and not with vol.Optional("advanced_options"): data_entry_flow.section(

So it looks like the documentation needs an update.
However, thx for the input. I was able to solve my problem.
