This is not a bug. Look at the entity's documentation

If the code worked with v4.3, it was a bug.
See https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/models/entities.html#filling-properties-quickly

I don't understand what you want to do:

$req = [
    ['name' => 'test', 'email' => '[testmail.com](http://testmail.com/)'],
    ['name' => 'testsd', 'email' => '[testmail1.com](http://testmail1.com/)']
]
$entiy = new Staff($req);

Staff or $entiy is an entity. Not two entities.

I need to Create a entity with array of array Data
if I pass

$req = [
    ['name' => 'test', 'email' => 'testmail.com'],
    ['name' => 'testsd', 'email' => 'testmail1.com']
]
$entiy = new Staff($req);

its throw error
if I pass a single associate array-like

$req =  ['name' => 'test', 'email' => 'testmail.com'];

it's working

Do you really need to have an entity with properties that the names are integers?

Your sample code is the same as the following:

$req = [
    0 => ['name' => 'test', 'email' => 'testmail.com'],
    1 => ['name' => 'testsd', 'email' => 'testmail1.com']
]
$entiy = new Staff($req);

That is the entity has property 0 and 1.
