Fairlight Keyframing Changing Stepped Pan to Linear

I am trying to animate 5.1 surround sound in DaVinci resolve's Fairlight page. I managed to add keyframes for a forward/backward pan, but it is in stepped mode. How do I change it to linear?
Image with issue is attached.

In Preview mode, define a Range followed by:
Fairlight menu > Automation > Glide Range

Resolve considers the automation data at beginning of the specified Range, and Glides To the current control's value at the end of the Range.

Thanks for the reply.
Nothing changed in Resolves once I followed these steps.
Also I can't seem to find a graph for LFE volume.

Is the Pan mix item enabled in the Automation panel?

Is Preview enabled and a Range specified prior to executing the Glide Range command?

I can't seem to find a graph for LFE volume.
While the Boom Enable and Boom Level may be automated, currently no automation data lane selection for these parameters is available via Resolve's UI.

Currently, the only method of displaying the automation lane for Boom Level is from the Fairlight Audio Editor hardware panel via the Curve key in the Mix megamode.

May be worth feature requesting this for inclusion in Resolve's UI: viewforum.php?f=33

Which one of the selection tools do I use to specify a range? I have tried them all.

Use the Range Selection Mode (R keybinding) by clicking the "crosshair" toolbar icon.

I did a screen recording of my process that isn't working.
Do you notice any errors in my process? Could it be a bug? I am in Resolve 17.4.1.

Enable the A1 Track. The automation button is currently isolated (grey) and should reflect as a blue icon in Preview.

Thank-you. That solved the problem. I tried that before but didn't realize it kept turning off every time preview was turned on and off.
