On R5 how to display focal length as you zoom lens?

On the R5 camera, how can you display the focal length of the lens, on the EVF or rear screen, as you change it while zooming?

 

Thank you!

So you're saying that the R7 can show the focal length while you're composing your (non-video) photo before you take it?  That's GREAT!  But, why oh why, can't Canon do that with the R5?

Focal length display is also a feature on the R6 Mark II and R8. I find it a handy feature to have on the screen. 

All of my Olympus camera had this feature,  even the current OM1.

I own both the R5 and R7, and the latter displays the focal length in the lower right corner of the EVF/LCD. I find this useful when composing. I find I'm missing a similar option in the R5, though focus breathing is always going to introduce some inaccuracy,
