Need help with tempo slow down/speed up...

Hi. I'm a longtime UAD user, and love Luna in general, but the new tempo feature has left me frustrated as hell. It used to be that if I wanted to create a slow down in tempo, I'd highlight a section on the Tempo bar, click the word Tempo, and a tempo window would pop up giving me a place to enter the start and end tempo. When I'd enter the tempo, Luna would create a gradual slow down, or speed up, tempo for the range I selected.

However, now when I try this, a simple floating Tempo window pops up and gives me no ability to enter a stop or end tempo. I have been trying to figure out how to do what used to be so, so simple for an hour now, and I just can't do it. I simply want to manually enter a start and end tempo for a section, and have the tempo change between those numbers.

Can someone please tell me how to do this formerly-easy task in the new version of Luna? I've attached a screen shot of what I mean (the tempo change you see is one I had created months ago, and now I can't make it happen again. You can see in this

It has been removed.

Be sure to share your thoughts directly with the team via the Feedback feature of LUNA.

So, wait... there's no way to do this anymore? At all?! Just took away this simple, needed, functionality completely for no reason?
Sure, you can insert each tempo change manually. Only the range and curve workflow was removed.

But what replaced it in the workflow? How can I change a tempo range to produce a gradual decrease or increase in tempo now? What's the new workflow/functionality that replaced it?

You manually insert each incremental tempo change.

Wow. That's insane. I can't believe I may have to actually go back to ProTools after all of the time I've invested into this program. You guys took such a basic feature away, and it makes no sense as to why. It's something I use all the time in what I do.

Is there a way to make a selection and draw in an angled line on the tempo lane?

Technically, yes, and I've tried doing exactly that as a workaround (which is weird....trying to do a workaround for a basic function that for some inexplicable reason was taken away) but it's cumbersome and just doesn't quite work the same. It kinda grabs the beginning and end tempo and changes them no matter how steady I try to hold my hand, and then I have to go back in and try to adjust things afterwards. All of this is just adding extra time and frustration to something I used to do all the time in seconds. I keep thinking "this can't be right... I must be missing something... they wouldn't have taken this away completely" and I've wasted hours today searching.

Is there a way to just add a node at the start of the tempo change and one at the end by double clicking? If you hold cmd while dragging the node, it should move in fine increments. Also, highlight the section and press E to zoom way in beforehand. Just trying to help here…maybe there’s other ways to achieve what you want to happen…(?)

Most of the time I follow, at least to some degree. I'm lost here :( No big as it doesn't really apply to me, but still I'm trying to visualize the before/after here.
