@jeanmarc.teste

You can copy paste this command into the echo commands window and it will populate a hidden page in the projection surface toolpath.

preview strategy_projection_range_form

Open the page in the toolpath window and enter a min max value.

I believe the above fix only works for surface finishing toolpaths, you must use the type in commands for the others. Wouldn't it be nice to just have this part of the original form, instead of typing in little top secret commands that most users know nothing about..??
