@boseasha : Checked the functionality in a 2.4-develop instance. I tried using the above step. Functionality vise its working. I need to check in the local instance so that I can able to validate it in the sales_order_address table.

@swathishs Thanks for checking the issue.But i believe the issue is not fixed in magento 2.3.5 too.

My issue that in the database table sales_order_address,the customer_address_id is missing....All the data(street,state,country,pin etc) are saved .
Please reconfirm

[boseasha]

I can also explain a scenario in which i come up with this issue in magento default.

I have some custom customer address attributes,So after the order placing from backend admin side,i need to update them as well.In such a case where we dont have the customer_address_id for the sales orders can come up with a question like this.
Hope u can understand what I am referring to.... If we have the customer_Address_id we can update the extra attributes based on that. Since its missing we need a solution.
