Touch id + passcode

When i set my iphone to be locked with a passcode, i want it to ask for the passcode only every 4 hours. Well, when I allow touchID to unlock my phone, i can only set it to ask for the passcode immediately. I dont want to unlock with fingerprints (or with passcode) every time I use my phone, but I would like the option to use and unlock with touchID (every 4 hours)

Thanks for your help in advance!

iPhone SE, iOS 13

You can't choose that option. Using TouchID means immediate passcode.
