How to provide Datum value using serialization lib

Question

I am consuming a script output and also create a new one at the same script address. The validator script requires the output producer to provide the datum value due to making assertions on it. Therefore, I would like to know how can I provide a datum value for creating an output using the cardano serialization lib and not just the datum hash!

The only thing I saw was something called TransactionBuilder.set_auxiliary_data() but I am not sure whether that fits what I need.

Thanks for any advice in the right direction.

Currently I am doing something like this which obviously only provides the datum hash - not the value.

txBuilder.add_output(
    TransactionOutputBuilder.new()
        .with_address(scriptAddress)
        .with_data_hash(hash_plutus_data(myDatum))
        .next()
        .with_value(Value.new(amount))
        .build()
);

Thanks to Sebastien, there is an open issue for this. Github Feature Request

Besides, one can attach the datum separately to the tx witness set, like so for example:

const datums = PlutusList.new();
datums.add(datumOfCurrentOutputToBeConsumed);
datums.add(datumOfNewOutputToBeCreated);

const transactionWitnessSet = TransactionWitnessSet.new();
transactionWitnessSet.set_plutus_data(datums);
