TL2 how to set lens profiles for M and R lenses?

Over the last months, I got to know my TL2 quite well. And overall, I am very pleased with the results that I get. Sometimes the TL2 firmware is not well behaved, but I found a workaround that I can live with for most issues.

Now, because I use lots of M and R lenses on both my SL and TL2, I finally caved in and bought a M-L adapter. Until now, I was using a mechanical adapter, but both SL and TL2 will not record any lens profile to EXIF, even if you choose one. On my SL, I can see all profiles available for M and R lenses. On my TL2 (firmware 1.5) I never saw such a list. Thinking it must be because I do not have the native M-L adapter, and knowing the info will not be saved anyway, I did not bother.

Now, WITH the native Leica M-L adapter, the TL2 still not shows any list for the M lens profiles ?!
Any coded M lens is registered correctly, but I would like to chose the profile manually like I can on my SL for my uncoded lenses.

Am I missing something here?

Does anyone see a Lens profile list with T/TL/TL2?
