MPC57xx MBDT Missing CAN Modules

Hey All

My first post, so please be gentle. I have recently got into programming, and experimenting with the DEVKIT-MPC5748G through the MBDT (simulink). Specifically I am looking to use the CAN communication capability, and have the DEVKIT COMM CAN/LIN board attached.

In general the toolbox is great, and provides a good environment to learn and understand in. However, I think I may have come across something that is either a bug or an intentional limitation. The MPC5748G has up to 8 CAN modules accessible, which appear in the FCAN_Config block once you select the MPC5748G. However, it seems that both the FCAN_recieve and FCAN_Send only allow a selection in their dropbox box of either CAN modules 0,1,2 - thus preventing me from utilising some of the remaining CANs.

Is this a bug or is this feature intentional?

I have attached two screenshots, just as reference.

Thank you for taking the time to read through, look forward to hearing off the community and/or NXP representatives.
