Grafana 8.0.4 alerts does not correctly work (multiple alerts per graph)

[IvanTheFirst]

Hello!
I have grafana 8.0.4 with new alerts and plugin version 2.3.1.
And there are two problems:

1. I can create alert only from dashboard graph. When I try to create alert from "Alerting" menu i get this error -

Failed to evaluate queries and expressions: failed to execute conditions: failed to query data: Failed to query data: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = unable to parse json {"dateTimeType":"DATETIME","extrapolate":true,"format":"time_series","formattedQuery":"SELECT $timeSeries as t, count() FROM $table WHERE $timeFilter GROUP BY t ORDER BY t","hide":false,"intervalFactor":1,"intervalMs":1000,"maxDataPoints":43200,"query":"SELECT 1\n","rawQuery":true,"refId":"A","round":"0s","skip_comments":true}. Error: json: cannot unmarshal bool into Go struct field Query.rawQuery of type string

2. Alert does not contain "labels" and I can't create multiple alerts from one graph like this [Feature request] Multiple alerts per graph grafana/grafana#7832 (comment)

3. sometimes doubling metrics names in alerts

sample request
SELECT Time, groupArray((instance,value)) as arr FROM (SELECT toDateTime(now() - INTERVAL 60 SECOND) as Time,'cpu1_host1'as instance,20 as value UNION ALL SELECT toDateTime(now() - INTERVAL 120 SECOND) as Time ,'cpu1_host1'as instance,30 as value UNION ALL SELECT toDateTime(now() - INTERVAL 60 SECOND) as Time ,'cpu1_host2'as instance,50 as value UNION ALL SELECT toDateTime(now() - INTERVAL 120 SECOND) as Time ,'cpu1_host2'as instance,40 as value ) GROUP BY Time,instance ORDER BY Time

Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you.

Any progress so far? In Grafana 8.2 it seems you can't create alerts the old way anymore if you use the new ones, so we can't setup any alerts based on this plugin anymore.
Is there any other known workaround?

I found the root reason, but unfortunatelly it's not easy to fix. New grafana unified alerts need to implements full sql parser on golang part
please subsribe here to follow progress

@derN3rd you can set up grafana alerts in old way
just set the following environment variables

GF_UNIFIED_ALERTING_ENABLED=false
GF_ALERTING_ENABLED=true

[derN3rd]

My problem is, that we are dependent on the new alertings, so I sadly can't just disable the new alerts and use the old ones...
Any estimation on when or even if this will be done in the future?

EDIT: Just seen the link for the progress. Sorry
