Where do I specify which filament to use for supports?

I have two parts on the bed, one is printed with one filament, the other with a different filament.  I paint some supports on part number 2 but the supports print out with the filament associated with part number one.  It seems like I should be able to specify somewhere what filament to use for supports (in this case both filaments cost the same, but one of them certainly could have been more expensive, or maybe I just have more of one filament, or maybe I want to print the supports in a completely different filament from either object?

I have a MK4 with MMU3.

You need to be in Advanced or Expert mode.

Cheerio,

Thank you!  I had looked on that page, but I was expecting the same kind of filament chooser that the app uses everywhere else, I didn't realize that there it is just a number entry field and not a combo-box.  Because of you I looked more closely and found it.
