Guitar slide needs src and dest fingerings to show

I’m new to Dorico and learning by engraving existing scores. The guitar side from C to Eb properly shows but only if the C roughly immediately before the Eb has a fingering applied (Flows #1 and #3). It should be obvious from the previous measure as it has already indicated the fingering (see Flow #2). I’d like to omit the fingering for C in the 2nd measure and still indicate the slide with 2 to Eb.

There isn’t an option to have the “Finger or Position” property be set, yet hidden. The engrave “slide type” property also seems to require the source be roughly prior for the property to be available. I can get the indicator with the final C fingered of the first measure, Flow #3.

Select the Eb, open the Properties Panel and assign it to string 3.

Perfect. It makes sense now that this would work, thanks!
