Johnson-Freyd-Ostrik-Yu Question on Categorical Cocycles

Twisted Deligne products categorify the tensor product of two Grothendieck rings. Classifying them leads to categorical $n$-cocycles, and Johnson-Freyd, Ostrik and Yu asked whether these are always pullbacks of ordinary group cocycles on the universal grading group of the underlying based ring. For $3$-cocycles they are.
