Alternate filament supports wipe tower

I am sure I am blind, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to generate a wipe tower in prusa slicer when using an alternate filament for supports (on the other tool head on my XL2T).

 

I keep getting this error in prusa slicer and cannot see a way to generate supports in another filament without setting the tool heads in the "multiple extruder" menu.

for extra detail, I am trying to print TPU with PLA supports. I keep getting failed prints as small TPU stringing/blobbing is catching the toolhead as it goes past and dislodging the print from the print bed.

RE: Alternate filament supports wipe tower

You have to go to Print Seetings->Support Material and in Top X distance to change it to 0 whicj is for soluble materials. This will let you enable the wipe tower and choose another material for supports.
