Play custom position against bot?

Hey,

Sorry if this is answered, I couldn't find it in the forums. I have seen YT vids of people playing custom positions against bots, like playing Martin with only one pawn. But I don't know how to do that. If I want a custom board setup against a bot, how is that configured?

Go to Learn > Analysis to set up the required position, then practice vs computer. Once done there is a change the bot button/option.

You have to go to the Analysis and set up a custom position, and then it gives the option to play against any bot, or the engine level bot.

This does not seem to be fully fixed... I can't select the Engine and change strength from 250 > it just reverts to first bot (have tried multiple browsers / devices). Any ideas? Thanks

This issue is still present.
Just so we are on the same page, this functionality is broken:
Analysis -> Make Moves -> user makes moves -> Practice vs Computer -> Change Bot. 
This brings up a blank space on the right side of the chessboard with the following errors in the console: 
"practice-beta.client.6cec0c4d.js:523 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'classification')
at Object.getDefaultEngineBot (practice-beta.client.6cec0c4d.js:523:78222)

at flush (vue.dll.79fa07db.js:33:46807)
at flush (vue.dll.79fa07db.js:33:46843)"
I confirmed this problem on multiple computers with multiple browsers and the issue was still present. I cleared data and cache and still had the same problem.

If you used the Setup option you have to Load it before that will show
