Length tuning settings are not visible

In Route/Tune Length of a single track does not show me more options to configure, like the maximum amplitude.

What it does show me are the increase/decrease the amplitude, which is done in small steps.

What I want to do, is a heatbed, where the track will fill the whole board.

In KiCad 7 I could configure the maximum aplitude and it would fill all the aeria automatically, in KiCad 8.0 this changed it seems.

From people that had the same issue with me, apparently there is a menu called “Length tuning settings”, which is not visible when I right click on the track I want to tune.

Where can I find the option to make a maximum amplitude adjustment when tuning the length of a single track?
OR
Is there another way to fill this aeria shown in the picture?

Also see the documentation for this here, and please let me know if parts of this are not clearly explained - I’ve already received some feedback that it could be more clear :slight_smile:
