Question Vehicle Key button assignments

I have just taken delivery of a 2020 330i MSport Touring. I have the standard vehicle key which has the 4 buttons - unlock, lock, tailgate and "diamond". Per the manual I should be able to assign different functions to the tailgate and "diamond" buttons as follows:

Tailgate button: open/close tailgate or open rear window
"Diamond" button: Home lights, open/close tailgate or open rear window

But when I go into the Key button assignments on iDrive, I see no option for the "diamond" button at all (so it is unconfigurable) and for the Tailgate button I only get option of unlocking tailgate or unlocking all doors.

Is this a country-specific thing or should I be able to configure as per the manual (and hence should have these options in iDrive).

Hopefully someone out there has some experience to be able to help!

thanks in advance

I’ve a U.K. car and agree the boot button has the options you detail.

As for the ‘diamond’ button.

My U.K. drivers guide shows.

Thanks. I guess the difference is that I have the Touring as in my Driver's Guide it lists the options in my original post. BMW Customer Service have said that I need to take it to a technician so I guess it should show as an option in iDrive. ONly problem is I can't get it booked in until end of August and they advise against just turning up and asking as they are so busy! Oh well...
