Selecting a build version

I have an actor that I would like to select a different build version to be used when ran manually. On the actors page source tab > input tab > run options section; the build is set to the latest an cannot be changed there with a note of "Version of Actor is fixed to latest build of currently selected version. To change version, please use the selector on top of this page."
When I try to select from the top of the page my only option is latest and I cannot type the version I would like to use nor are the list of builds that can be found on the build tab of the actor. I also have the same issue when I try to do this in the builds tab, the dropdown only provided latest and I cannot type a specific build into it. I thought maybe I could just remove(deleting) the latest build returning to the version I would like to use, then rebuild once I have completed the manual run. However I cannot delete this build "Error: Cannot delete build (Deleting an Actor's default build is not allowed.)"

However when the actor set up to run on a scheduled I can provide the specific build version.

Any advice or help to allow me to select a different build version is greatly appreciated.

Hello , to have multiple versions of one Actor, you can create a fork on the source tab of the Actor. This will allow you to create a new version in the major.minor format and you will be able to switch between them.
Okay thanks for the insight - However is there a way to delete the latest build that is attached to the actor? When I try I get "Error: Cannot delete build (Deleting an Actor's default build is not allowed.)". Is there a way to by pass that?
You need to first change the default version/build in settings, thne you can delete it
