Modeling a Heat Pump on a DOE Commercial Prototype Highrise Apt Building

I am trying to utilize the DOE Commercial Prototype Midrise and Highrise Buildings with a Heat Pump in EnergyPlus. Would the best way to go about this be to utilize the Example File for HeatPumpAuto in the EnergyPlus HVAC examples? I'm getting confused when editing the existing DOE Prototype idf, as the drop down does not provide the same options as in the HeatPumpAuto.idf in the example file.

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated! I attempted to use OpenStudio's built in measures for Create DOE Prototype Building + the GSHPwithDOAS but it didn't seem to be working for Highrise buildings.
