Disable automated graphics switching ONLY when plugged in?

Is there any way to disable automated graphics switching or force the discrete graphics card when the computer is plugged in? I would like to use the integrated graphics card when on battery power.


I have a MacBook Pro from last year with a Radeon Pro 555X and an Intel UHD Graphics 630.

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

That setting appears to be for both battery and power adapter. It is outside of the box with the settings containing these two sets. When I change it when it is set to power adapter, it changes it on battery too.
