What happened to free form number entry of nearest points and max distance in the Find Nearest tool?

Is there a new way to enter your own number without using a preset that I'm just missing?

@patrick_mcauliffe  I prefer this method too- thanks for sharing your version! My company uses an older version of Alteryx, so I was concerned by upgrading to a newer version that the interface tools wouldn't override the max distance anymore. I'm glad to see that's not the case! Our setup is similar to yours:

This defect is fixed in later versions of Alteryx!
