Cannot use specific folders for wallpapers on Mac Studio

I am trying to get my wallpapers to use specific folders but that option is not available in the settings. I tried booting in safe mode and the folders I'd like to use are not from my photos library. Is there a solution? Is this something that will be fixed in an update, I hope? Running Tahoe 26.3.1 on Mac Studio.

Mac Studio, macOS 26.3

Specific folders for wallpaper can be added in Settings > Wallpapers. Click "Your Photos" and you should get a drop down box that has a number of selections including "Choose folder."
