Load Bid/Ask option missing for MES continuous contract after Update From Server

Sierra Chart Version: 2813
Service: Denali Exchange Data Feed
Symbol: MES (continuous MES##_FUT_CME) and MNQ
Chart Type: 1-minute Intraday

Issue:
The "Load Bid/Ask Update Only Intraday Records" option is missing from the Chart Settings → Symbol tab for MES/ MNQ futures charts. It does not appear even after creating a new chart, updating from server, or resetting to default.

I have already:
- Set Global Settings → Symbol Settings for MES##_FUT_CME → clicked "Update From Server"
- Set Intraday Data Storage Time Unit = 1 Tick
- Set Record Interval = 1 Tick
- Deleted data and re-downloaded
- Restarted Sierra Chart

But the option still does not show up in per-chart Symbol settings.

Attached screenshot of Global Symbol Settings window for MES##_FUT_CME showing no bid/ask related options.

This prevents live intrabar bid/ask updates in my custom ACSIL study so provisional dots only appear at bar close, not mid-bar.

Please advise how to enable per-tick bid/ask recording for MES and or MNQ continuous contracts.

Very Respectfully
Kelly Alton
