Secondary Daylight control ignored

Hello all,

[currently using OS 1.14 on a Windows 10 computer]

I have a question about using the radiance daylighting capability measure, because I'm seeing some contradictory info about it online. On forum responses, it's stated that there's two daylighting controls. But when I run my OS model with the radiance measure, it sends a message saying that the 'secondary' daylighting control will be ignored, and I see this repeated in the instructions online (https://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/reference/sketchup_plugin_interface/). My question is- are the secondary daylighting controls in fact ignored in the current version of OS/radiance I use (I have whichever radiance gets automatically installed w/ OS 1.14), and are they included/used in any newer versions of Openstudio?
