Duo 2's Wi-Fi Options missing "Auto-connect" option, looks like Android 10, not Android 11

Per multiple articles I see on the Internet, Android 11 added an "Auto-connect" option per Wi-Fi network, so each can be set to auto-connect, or not, on a per Wi-Fi network. This would be equivalent to Windows' "Connect automatically" option.

One example article for this is https://9to5google.com/2020/07/09/android-11-wi-fi-auto-connect. 

Here's a screen shot example from that article:

But I don't see this on the Duo 2, nor the Disconnect option between Forget and Share. In effect, it looks like the Duo 2 is still using the Android 10 Wi-Fi settings. Is this true for everyone (meaning MS still needs to give us the Android 11 Settings)? If not, any suggestions how to get the Auto-connect option on Duo 2?

I need this so I can disable auto-connect for a few specific problem networks that I only need occasionally (don't want to have to remember and manually type a password every time I do need them), but I don't want to turn it off universally, because for most networks, I do want them to auto-connect when in range.

Thanks,

Colin
