varIdent in glmmTMB?

Dear development team,

this is Davide Nespoli, researcher at the University of Florence (Italy).
After building a zero-inflated negative binomial GLMM of the form:

m<-glmmTMB(Time~Temperature*Sex+Position+(1|Individual),family=nbinom1(),
ziformula=~1, data=Perm)

I have a good model, but with a bit of heteroschedasticity due to the
different levels of Temperature (which is a 3-level factor).
I am wondering if it is possible to integrate a varIdent covariance
structure in the model.
I have already tried
"+(1|Temperature), dispformula=~0,"
but it doesn't work (neither for ZINB nor for ordered beta on proportional
data).
Is there a way to integrate it in such a model in glmmTMB?

Thank you very much.
Best regards,
