Assign supports to extruder?

I'm new to multi material but everything has been straightforward until now. After slicing a model I realize the supports for one of the models is assigned by default to the other extruder. This is causing unnecessary wasted filament on a wipe tower when it's not needed. I just want the one extruder to be the same for the model and its supports. Same for the other model, using the second extruder, model and supports using the same extruder. Sorry if this is a newb question, just can't find anything on it. See Attachment.supports

RE:

Thank you for the reply. Can I assign each models support extruder number. That would change them all. I have been trying to upload an attachment but no success for some reason. I have two models on the plate I want one model and its supports to be the same extruder. I would like the other model and its supports to use the 2nd extruder. I can't figure out how to assign support extruder to individual models. If I select extruder 1 for support settings all models use that extruder for supports and also unnecessarily use the wipe tower. I want two separate color models and their supports to print simultaneously and separately. Thaks again for the reply. I wish I was smart enough to figure this out.  The file path of the pic I'm trying to upload isn't working.
