Program custom button for move-still switching R5 Mark ii

On my R5 I can program a custom button to switch between still and movie mode. On my R% Mark ii I don't find that option in camera or the manual - probably because the Mark ii now has a mechanical switch - but I would like to be able to program a button. Is this possible?

Since the EOS R5 Mark II has a dedicated control switch between movie and stills there is no corresponding still <-> movie switching function that can be assigned with the custom buttons, this is obviously different to the original EOS R5, where this function exists and could be assigned to the M-Fn button.

Thanks Brian, as always. That's what I thought was the case.
