how to specify an availability schedule for ideal loads air system

May I ask how to specify an "availability schedule" for an ideal loads air system (ILAS)?

It seems in OpenStudio Application, a thermal zone can be "ticked" to turn on its ILAS, and cooling and heating thermostat schedules can be assigned to it, but there's no place to specify its availability schedule (see image 1), and the "Availability Schedule Name" field of the ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem object in the IDF file generated from OpenStudio is empty (see image 2), no to mention many other empty fields for an ILAS object such as heating/cooling availability schedule, Design Specification Outdoor Air Object Name ...

May I ask if there is a solution in OpenStudio so that I don't need to go to modify the IDF file to define all the fields manually?

Thanks!

For example, assign an compact schedule for ILAS to turn it on from 6-11pm daily (see image 3)
