Generating notation from chord symbols

Hello,
Running Dorico 5.1. I’m trying to generate notation for piano from a lead sheet structure. When I select Generate Notes from Chord Symbols, I get notes, but the bass of the piano part is not following the chord symbol structure, ie root is not always used in the bottom for root position chord symbols, altered bass is not used in for the bottom note for altered bass chord symbols. I get nice voice leading, just not what I need according to the chord symbols written. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Did you set Piano to play bass notes?

That did it! Thank you so much. I missed that in all the instruction that I read and viewed.
