Cannot assign "Increase Autopilot Reference Altitude" and "Decrease Autopilot Reference Altitude" to HOTAS dial - why?

I have just purchased the CRJ for MSFS and, while it appears to be a very well made piece of payware, I cannot assign the "Increase Autopilot Reference Altitude" and "Decrease Autopilot Reference Altitude" commands to a dial on my HOTAS.

I read here what Mathijs said but he doesn't explain why the CRJ does not accept input from this default MSFS command?

Could it please be added? It is awkward to adjust the ALT dial in flight while observing the PFD ALT display.
Adding this command would allow us to bind it to a dial on our HOTAS, thus relieving workload on pilot, which makes for a happy pilot or lots of happy pilots.
Thank you

You need 3rd party software as it uses LVARs for the complex systems and is not using the standard Sim Vars for those....  This horse has been beaten to death at this point...

I've looked around and it seems like SPAD.Next for £24.99 is the best option?
That's kind of expensive just for setting 1 dial to ALT select, don't you think?

It's a missed opportunity that Aerosoft didn't do a deal with SPAD for CRJ customers to include this option.

Well I use it for a lot more than 1 dial ...  All of the functions and controls are available to me... Anyway I could never use my simulator without Spad Next :)

 

And when the SU4 update broke WASM Modules ... I did just that...  I went and did other things for a week..
